Extracellular Enzyme Activities and Carbon/Nitrogen Utilization in Mycorrhizal Fungi Isolated From Epiphytic and Terrestrial Orchids [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Fungi employ extracellular enzymes to initiate the degradation of organic macromolecules into smaller units and to acquire the nutrients for their growth. As such, these enzymes represent important functional components in terrestrial ecosystems.

Donkey Orchid Symptomless Virus: A Viral ‘Platypus’ from Australian Terrestrial Orchids [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Complete and partial genome sequences of two isolates of an unusual new plant virus, designated Donkey orchid symptomless virus (DOSV) were identified using a high-throughput sequencing approach. The virus was identified from asymptomatic plants of Australian terrestrial orchid Diuris longifolia (Common donkey orchid) growing in a remnant forest patch ...

Genomic Evidence of Low Contemporary Effective Population Size and Southern Genetic Reservoirs in an Island Endemic Epiphytic Orchid of Taiwan. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGenome‐wide data from ddRADseq revealed a latitudinal gradient in genetic diversity in a Taiwanese endemic orchid. This study shows that genomic data not only can help us understand the evolutionary origins of genetic diversity in a species but also uncover its genetic reservoir for future conservation planning.

RARE TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS ON MBEYA PEAK, SOUTHERN TANZANIA
Journal of East African Natural History, 2005 Disa walteri, Satyrium aberrans, S. comptum and S. johnsonii are rare terrestrial orchids that co-occur and flower around the same time in southern Tanzania. We found the first three of these species on Mbeya Peak in March 2005, about 45 years after they were last recorded by botanists and present the first illustration of D.
