Identification of Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi Isolated from Epipactis thunbergii in Korea
The Korean Journal of Mycology, 2013 In this study, roots of Epipactis thunbergii were collected from Chujado on the north of Jeju-do. Six fungal isolates were isolated from surface-sterilized roots of the orchid and classified with groups based on morphological characteristics. Fungal DNA was extracted from each isolate and amplified ITS region using ITS1-OF/ITS4-OF primer pair.

From terrestrial to epiphytic orchids: do tropics change the rules as compared to temperate regions? [PDF]
, 2016 In most mycorrhizal symbioses, including most adult green orchids, fungi provide soil minerals to the plant, in exchange for photosynthetic sugar. Yet, during orchid germination, the fungi, which belong to the polyphyletic rhizoctonias, provide carbon to
