Cryopreservation of orchid mycorrhizal fungi: A tool for the conservation of endangered species
The effectiveness of cryopreservation at --80 °C on orchid mycorrhizal fungi was assessed by testing the symbiotic ability of ten fungal isolates following cryo-storage for 10-24 months. The results obtained prove the efficacy of the method, thus providing a valuable tool for ex situ conservation.

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal symbiosis is widely hypothesized to have promoted the evolution of land plants from rootless gametophytes to rooted sporophytes during the mid-Palaeozoic (480–360 Myr, ago), at a time coincident with a 90% fall in ...

Reintroduction of an epiphytic orchid: Plant size matters
Orchidaceae is one of the largest family and among the most threatened in flowering plants. Approximately 70 % of orchid species grow epiphytically on trees or rock surfaces without attaching to soils, making them highly sensitive to environmental ...
