Addition of fungal inoculum increases seed germination and protocorm formation in a terrestrial orchid

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Because orchid mycorrhizal fungi are important for orchid seed germination, addition of germination-supporting fungal inoculum to the soil can be an efficient way to improve in situ seed germination of terrestrial orchids, but empirical evidence is still

Irregular flowering patterns in terrestrial orchids: theories vs. empirical data [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2001
Empirical data on many species of terrestrial orchids suggest that their between-year flowering pattern is extremely irregular and unpredictable. A long search for the reason has hitherto proved inconclusive.

Establishment of a Symbiotic in vitro System between a Green Meadow Orchid and a Rhizoctonia-like Fungus

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
Symbiotic orchid seed germination in an in vitro system allows the growth of mycorrhizal protocorms and plantlets for scientific purposes. Orchids in nature need to establish a mycorrhizal symbiosis with fungal partners to germinate and develop into ...
