Mycorrhizal fungi affect orchid distribution and population dynamics [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 SummarySymbioses are ubiquitous in nature and influence individual plants and populations. Orchids have life history stages that depend fully or partially on fungi for carbon and other essential resources. As a result, orchid populations depend on the distribution of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMFs).

Further advances in orchid mycorrhizal research [PDF]
Mycorrhiza, 2007 Orchid mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions between fungi and members of the Orchidaceae, the world’s largest plant family. The majority of the world’s orchids are photosynthetic, a small number of species are myco-heterotrophic throughout their ...

Core Mycorrhizal Fungi Promote Seedling Growth in <i>Dendrobium officinale</i>: An Important Medicinal Orchid. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)The critically endangered orchid Dendrobium officinale, valued for its medicinal properties, depends on specific seedling-associated mycorrhizal fungi (SAMF) for successful early-stage seedling development. However, conservation efforts are often hindered by difficulties in obtaining suitable SAMF, leading to poor seedling establishment in both natural

The SWEET14 sugar transporter mediates mycorrhizal symbiosis and carbon allocation in Dendrobium officinale [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyOrchid mycorrhizal (OM) fungi form mutualistic relationships with orchids, facilitating the uptake of minerals from the soil in exchange for sugars and lipids provided by the plant.

Addition of fungal inoculum increases germination of orchid seeds in restored grasslands
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Grasslands restored on arable land often retain high residual nutrients, modified soil biota, and lower plant species diversity. Establishment of rare plant species with complex multitrophic interactions, typical of undisturbed nutrient-poor environments,
