Successional changes in mycorrhizal type in the pioneer plant communities of a subalpine volcanic desert on Mt. Fuji, Japan [PDF]
Isolated island-like plant communities dominated by the perennial herb Polygonum cuspidatum are typical pioneer vegetation in the subalpine volcanic deserts of Japan.

Dispersal limitation and seed predation drive rarity of a plant species at its range edge
Contrary to the assumption that species occur at a low frequency near their range edges due to a lack of suitable habitat, we found that dispersal limitation coupled with biotic interactions can predominantly drive the rarity of Stylophorum diphyllum. Habitat suitability estimated by the species distribution model did not predict seedling emergence or ...

Identification of the Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi Isolated from the Roots of Korean Native Orchid
The orchid symbiotic fungi were isolated from the roots of Korean native orchid (Cymbidium goeringu) collected and Chinese orchid (C. sinense) obtained from greenhouses. They were identified as a species of Rhizoctonia, based on the sequences of 18 r rDNA, the microscopic observations of mycelia, and the symbiotic relationships with commercial orchids.

Protected Areas Are Important for the Conservation of Disa engleriana, an Edible Orchid in Malawi
The article highlights that suitable habitats for Disa engleriana in Malawi alighn with the boundaries of protected areas emphasizing their importance in conservation. However, the species habitat is at risk due to climate change evidenced by the model projections.

Understanding plant reproductive strategies is vital for conserving endangered species. This study reveals a novel self‐pollination mechanism in the diminutive orchid Stigmatodactylus sikokianus, facilitated by the movement of a finger‐like appendage beneath the stigma.

Orchids are known for their vast diversity and dependency on mycorrhizal fungi. Under in situ conditions, the biotic and abiotic factors determining the composition and distribution of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) communities remain largely unexplored.

SUMMARY Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis supports tree growth and is crucial for nutrient cycling and temperate and boreal ecosystems functioning. The establishment of functional ectomycorrhiza (ECM) first requires the association of compatible partners. However, host and fungal genetic determinants governing mycorrhizal compatibility are unknown. To identify
