Co‐occurring orchid species associated with different low‐abundance mycorrhizal fungi from the soil in a high‐diversity conservation area in Denmark [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlant–fungal interactions are ubiquitous across ecosystems and contribute significantly to plant ecology and evolution. All orchids form obligate symbiotic relationships with specific fungi for germination and early growth, and the distribution of ...

Co-Cultures of Mycorrhizal Fungi Do Not Increase Germination and Seedling Development in the Epiphytic Orchid Dendrobium nobile [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Orchids are highly dependent on mycorrhizal fungi for seed germination and subsequent growth to a seedling as they provide essential carbon, water, and mineral nutrients to developing seeds. Although there is mounting evidence that orchid seeds are often

Mixotrophy in orchids: facts, questions, and perspectives. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary While orchids germinate thanks to carbon from their symbiotic fungi, variable carbon exchanges exist between adult orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi. Although some truly autotrophic orchids reward their fungi with carbon at adulthood, some species remain achlorophyllous and fully dependent on fungal carbon (mycoheterotrophy).

Subterranean morphology underpins the degree of mycoheterotrophy, mycorrhizal associations, and plant vigor in a green orchid Oreorchis patens. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement The evolution of full heterotrophy from photosynthetic ancestors is a longstanding question in evolutionary ecology. Our study demonstrates that coralloid rhizomes in a photosynthetic orchid promote greater mycoheterotrophic carbon acquisition, leading to more vigorous flowering scapes and increased flower production.
