Mycorrhizal Fungal Diversity and Community Composition in Two Closely Related Platanthera (Orchidaceae) Species.

PLoS ONE, 2016
While it is generally acknowledged that orchid species rely on mycorrhizal fungi for completion of their life cycle, little is yet known about how mycorrhizal fungal diversity and community composition vary within and between closely related orchid taxa.

Chemical Fingerprinting of Spiranthes spiralis L. Methanol Seed Extract: Spectroscopic, Chromatographic, and Computational Approaches

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Spiranthes spiralis L. seed methanol extract was morphologically and chemically characterized using microscopy, FT‐IR, GC–MS, and in silico analyses. The extract exhibited high phenolic content and strong DPPH radical scavenging activity, while GC–MS identified 22 bioactive compounds with notable binding affinity toward the GPR52 receptor.

Is the Distribution of Two Rare Orchis Sister Species Limited by Their Main Mycobiont?

Diversity, 2020
As orchids rely on their mycorrhizal fungi for nutrient supply, their spatial range is dependent on the distribution of orchid mycorrhizal (OM) fungi. We addressed possible correlations between mycorrhizal specificity and the geographic distribution of ...

Can orchid mycorrhizal fungi be persistently harbored by the plant host?

Fungal Ecology, 2021
The environmental distribution of non-obligate orchid mycorrhizal (OM) symbionts belonging to the 'rhizoctonia' complex remains elusive. Some of these fungi, indeed, are undetectable in soil outside the host rhizosphere. A manipulation experiment was performed to assess the importance of neighbouring non-orchid plants and soil as possible reservoirs of

Differential responses of bacteria and fungi in the rhizoplane and endosphere of aerial roots of Cissus verticillata

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract All plant organs have the potential to harbor microbial communities and each organ may form unique niches for specialized microbial communities. There have been very few detailed investigations of microbiomes within a single plant organ along different developmental stages.

Phylogenetic and Microsatellite Markers for Tulasnella (Tulasnellaceae) Mycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Australian Orchids

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013
Premise of the study: Phylogenetic and microsatellite markers were developed for Tulasnella mycorrhizal fungi to investigate fungal species identity and diversity. These markers will be useful in future studies investigating the phylogenetic relationship

Diversity and evolution of ABC proteins in mycorrhiza-forming fungi [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Transporter proteins are predicted to have an important role in the mycorrhizal symbiosis, due to the fact that this type of an interaction between plants and fungi requires a continuous nutrient and signalling exchange.

The nexus of decay and birth: Ecological and evolutionary significance of wood‐decaying fungi in green Calypsoinae orchid germination

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3659-3671, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key feature of Orchidaceae is the production of dust‐like seeds that depend on fungal carbon during early development. Although protocorms and mature green orchids typically associate with rhizoctonia fungi, many non‐photosynthetic orchids and some photosynthetic ...

Co‐occurring orchid species associated with different low‐abundance mycorrhizal fungi from the soil in a high‐diversity conservation area in Denmark

Ecology and Evolution
Plant–fungal interactions are ubiquitous across ecosystems and contribute significantly to plant ecology and evolution. All orchids form obligate symbiotic relationships with specific fungi for germination and early growth, and the distribution of ...

The Diversity and Growth-Promoting Potential of the Endophytic Fungi of Neuwiedia singapureana (Orchidaceae) in China

Diversity
Neuwiedia singapureana is a rare and endangered plant of the Apostasioideae subfamily. The Apostasioideae subfamily has a unique evolutionary status, as it is considered to be the most primitive group forming the base of the Orchidaceae evolutionary tree.
