Adaptational Mechanisms of Epiphytic Orchids: A Review

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management, 2022
Orchidaceae belongs to the 84 families of vascular plants that cover species following the epiphytic life pattern. Adaptations are specialized mechanisms that permit a plant or animal to live in a particular area or habitat.

Isotria medeoloides, a North American Threatened Orchid: Fungal Abundance May Be as Important as Light in Species Management

Plants, 2021
The management of endangered or threatened plant species is difficult if protocols are not developed to propagate species for the purpose of restoration or the enhancement of existing populations.

Mycorrhizal specificity of fully mycoheterotrophic Yoania in Taiwan and China and novel natural abundance stable isotope patterns

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Three species of the mycoheterotrophic orchid genus Yoania found in Taiwan and China are associated with a single taxonomic unit of white‐rot fungus from the genus Physisporinus and exhibit a stable isotope pattern distinct from other fully mycoheterotrophic (FMH) orchids associated with wood‐decaying fungi.

A Database on Mycorrhizal Traits of Chinese Medicinal Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The mycorrhizal traits of plants have been widely reported based on different scales or plant functional groups. To better utilize mycorrhizae to improve the cultivation yield and active ingredient accumulation of medicinal plants, a database of ...

Mycorrhizas alter nitrogen acquisition by the terrestrial orchid Cymbidium goeringii [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2013
Orchid mycorrhizas exhibit a unique type of mycorrhizal symbiosis that occurs between fungi and plants of the family Orchidaceae. In general, the roots of orchids are typically coarse compared with those of other plant species, leading to a considerably low surface area to volume ratio.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

The relation between mutualistic mycorrhiza and endophytic plant-fungus associations and their effect on host plants

Agricultural Science and Practice, 2023
Aim. A review of the literature to establish the mechanisms of the main mutualistic interactions that are important for the potential application of symbiotic fungi as biofertilizers, bioprotectors and bioregulators for more sustainable and so-called ...

Diversity of root-associated culturable fungi of Cephalanthera rubra (Orchidaceae) in relation to soil characteristics [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Cephalanthera rubra (L.) Rich., Red Helleborine, is a widespread orchid in Europe but known only from three very small populations in England. These populations are in decline with no natural seed setting for more than a decade.

Choosing a Favorable Substrate to Cultivate Native Orchids Symbiotically: Examples Using Goodyera tesselata and Platanthera blephariglottis

HortScience, 2022
U.S. native temperate terrestrial orchids are of horticultural and conservation interest but are considered difficult to propagate from seed due to complex ecological requirements and a variable need for a mycorrhizal fungus.

Tropical orchid mycorrhizae: potential applications in orchid conservation, commercialization, and beyond

Lankesteriana, 2013
Orchid mycorrhizae are unique interactions in the plant kingdom involving all the orchids and a variety of fungi including Rhizoctonia. Orchids are one of the most charismatic plant families and include at least 20,000 species widely appreciated by specialist growers and scientists.
