Orchid distribution and population dynamics are influenced by a variety of ecological factors
and the formation of holobionts, which play key roles in colonization and ecological …

Orchids form mycorrhizal symbioses with fungi in natural habitats that affect their seed
germination, protocorm growth, and adult nutrition. An increasing number of studies …

Background Symbiotic associations of endophytic fungi have been proved by possessing an
ability to produce hormones and metabolites for their host plant. Members of the …

Premise Pogoniopsis likely represents an independent photosynthesis loss in orchids. We
use phylogenomic data to better identify the phylogenetic placement of this fully …

Similar to other orchid species, Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum (Lindl. ex Hook.) Stein, relies
on nutrients provided by mycorrhizal fungus for seed germination and seedling development …

The diversity of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) and other beneficial root-associated fungi in
temperate forests has scarcely been examined. This study aimed to analyze the diversity of …

As one of the largest families of flowering plants, Orchidaceae is well-known for its high
diversity and complex life cycles. Interestingly, such exquisite plants originate from minute …

Orchids are one of the most widespread plants inhabiting lands in almost all terrestrial
ecosystems. Most plants from the Orchidaceae family depend on specific mycorrhizal fungi …

In nature, orchid seed germination and seedling development depend on compatible
mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal generalist and specificity affect the orchid distribution and …
