THE RELATION BETWEEN HOST AND ENDOPHYTE IN ORCHID MYCORRHIZA
SummaryExtensive isolation of root endophytes from Orchis (Daciylorchis) purpurella and other British orchids yielded a variety of strains of Rhizoctonia and of other fungi. R. repens, a common orchid endophyte, occurred in several host species and habitats. R.

Habitat Disturbance Promotes Shifts in the Abundance of Major Fungal Phyla in the Roots of a Native Orchid, <i>Tipularia discolor</i>. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Orchids are a widely distributed group of flowering plants with important roles in ecosystems around the globe. However, many species are in decline due, in part, to human‐driven changes in their habitat. It is well established that orchids are reliant on specific groups of mycorrhizal fungi for growth and reproduction and that these fungi can

Novel insights into orchid mycorrhiza functioning from stable isotope signatures of fungal pelotons.
Stable isotope signatures of fungal sporocarps have been instrumental in identifying carbon gains of chlorophyllous orchids from a fungal source. Yet, not all mycorrhizal fungi produce macroscopic sporocarps and frequently fungi of different taxa occur ...

Comparative transcriptomics uncovers poplar and fungal genetic determinants of ectomycorrhizal compatibility. [PDF]
SUMMARY Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis supports tree growth and is crucial for nutrient cycling and temperate and boreal ecosystems functioning. The establishment of functional ectomycorrhiza (ECM) first requires the association of compatible partners. However, host and fungal genetic determinants governing mycorrhizal compatibility are unknown. To identify

Mycorrhizal associations and trophic modes in coexisting orchids: an ecological continuum between auto- and mixotrophy [PDF]
Two distinct nutritional syndromes have been described in temperate green orchids. Most orchids form mycorrhizas with rhizoctonia fungi and are considered autotrophic.

Mixotrophy in orchids: facts, questions, and perspectives. [PDF]
Summary While orchids germinate thanks to carbon from their symbiotic fungi, variable carbon exchanges exist between adult orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi. Although some truly autotrophic orchids reward their fungi with carbon at adulthood, some species remain achlorophyllous and fully dependent on fungal carbon (mycoheterotrophy).

: Orchids and its compatible mycorrhiza have a symbiotic relationship particularly during seed germination that can continue into the adult stage. Studies have shown that orchid mycorrhiza may enhance plant growth when associating symbiotically in the ...
