Is the Distribution of Two Rare Orchis Sister Species Limited by Their Main Mycobiont? [PDF]
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 ...

Strong phylogenetic congruence between Tulasnella fungi and their associated Drakaeinae orchids. [PDF]
J Evol Biol, 2023 Abstract The study of congruency between phylogenies of interacting species can provide a powerful approach for understanding the evolutionary history of symbiotic associations. Orchid mycorrhizal fungi can survive independently of orchids making cospeciation unlikely, leading us to predict that any congruence ...

Horticulturae, 2022 The compatibility of mycorrhizal fungi with the early growth stage of orchids is essential for their growth. In this study, the compatibility and promotion effects of 14 Tulasnella strains from different hosts were studied by co-culturing them with the ...

The Dark Side of Orchid Symbiosis: Can Tulasnella calospora Decompose Host Tissues? [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Photosynthetic orchids associate with mycorrhizal fungi that can be mostly ascribed to the "rhizoctonia" species complex. Rhizoctonias' phylogenetic diversity covers a variety of ecological/nutritional strategies that include, beside the symbiosis establishment with host plants, endophytic and pathogenic associations with non-orchid plants or ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Orchids highly depend on mycorrhizae for survival and growth. Traditionally, to obtain orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMFs) for plant growth, fungi have been isolated from the roots of mature wild plants; however, fungal partners engaged may change through ...

Mycorrhizal associations and trophic modes in coexisting orchids: an ecological continuum between auto- and mixotrophy [PDF]
, 2017 Two distinct nutritional syndromes have been described in temperate green orchids. Most orchids form mycorrhizas with rhizoctonia fungi and are considered autotrophic.
