Tidying up international nucleotide sequence databases [PDF]
Sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA operon, particularly the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, provides a powerful tool for identification of mycorrhizal fungi.

The long-term survival and climatic distribution of mixotrophic and mycoheterotrophic orchids
Orchid germination depends on their fungal partner; however, there are no broadscale analyses evaluating the actual overlap between orchids and their mycorrhizal symbionts.

Non-specificity of Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi
While isolating the mycorrhizal fungi from various species of native Wisconsin orchids, several features were noted which are at variance with the usually reported results of European investigators concerning the specificity of mycorrhizal infections.

Endophytic fungi are those that inhabit within organs and tissues without causing damage, while mycorrhizal fungi develop hyphal complexes called pelotons within cortical cells of orchid roots. Although abundant and frequent in all plant organs, the role

Epiparasitic plants specialized on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
Over 400 non-photosynthetic species from 10 families of vascular plants obtain their carbon from fungi and are thus defined as myco-heterotrophs. Many of these plants are epiparasitic on green plants from which they obtain carbon by 'cheating' shared ...

Background Achlorophyllous orchids are mycoheterotrophic plants, which lack photosynthetic ability and associate with fungi to acquire carbon from different environmental sources. In tropical latitudes, achlorophyllous forest orchids show a preference to

Interactions among mycorrhizal fungi enhance the early development of a Mediterranean orchid
AbstractOrchids depend on mycorrhizal fungi to germinate from seed. While multiple orchid mycorrhizal (OrM) taxa are often found associated with adult orchids, the relative contribution of particular OrM taxa to germination and early orchid development is poorly understood.
