Ecological divergence of sibling allopolyploid marsh orchids is associated with species specific plasticity and distinct fungal communities. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY Phenotypic plasticity, the dynamic adjustment of traits to environmental variations, is crucial for enabling species to exploit broader niches and withstand suboptimal conditions. This adaptability is particularly relevant for newly formed allopolyploids, which possess redundant gene copies and must become established in diverse environments ...

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.

Plant Species Biology, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 306-318, November 2023., 2023 In this paper, we investigated the mycorrhizal association of an endangered epiphytic orchid, Vanda falcata. Our results showed that this orchid is predominantly associated with a single Tulasnellaceae fungus at the adult stage in wild populations, while Ceratobasidiaceae fungi induce its seed germination in vitro.

Population structure of an orchid mycorrhizal fungus with genus-wide specificity
Scientific Reports, 2017 Fundamental life history processes of mycorrhizal fungi with inconspicuous fruiting bodies can be difficult to elucidate. In this study we investigated the species identities and life history of the orchid mycorrhizal Tulasnella fungi, which associate ...

Further advances in orchid mycorrhizal research [PDF]
, 2007 Orchid mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions between fungi and members of the Orchidaceae, the world’s largest plant family. The majority of the world’s orchids are photosynthetic, a small number of species are myco-heterotrophic throughout their ...
