Many orchid species are endangered due to anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction and overharvesting, meanwhile, all orchids rely on orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) for seed germination and seedling growth. Therefore, a better understanding of

From terrestrial to epiphytic orchids: do tropics change the rules as compared to temperate regions? [PDF]
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

Biodiversity: so much more than legs and leaves [PDF]
Microorganisms inhabit virtually every possible niche on Earth, including those at the outer envelope of survival. However, the focus of most conservation authorities and ecologists is the ‘legs and leaves’ side of biology – the ‘macrobiology’ that can ...

Responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi to changes in carbon and nutrient availability [PDF]
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi may receive 20% of the total C fixed by their host plants and are essential components of host nutrient acquisition. As a consequence of the vast physiological diversity that exists among ECM fungi, changes in community ...

Molecular and morphological phylogenetics of the digitate-tubered clade within subtribe Orchidinae s.s. (Orchidaceae: Orchideae) [PDF]
The digitate-tubered clade (Dactylorhiza s.l. plus Gymnadenia s.l.) within subtribe Orchidinae is an important element of the North-temperate orchid flora and has become a model system for studying the genetic and epigenetic consequences of organism-wide
