Mycorrhizal networks, defined as a common mycorrhizal mycelium linking the roots of at
least two plants, occur in all major terrestrial ecosystems. This review discusses the recent …

Arbuscular (AM) and orchid (OrM) mycorrhiza are the most widespread mycorrhizal
symbioses among flowering plants, formed by distinct fungal and plant species. They are …

Dust seeds are the smallest existing seeds in angiosperms. This paper summarizes
taxonomic distribution, phylogeny, ontogeny, morphology, and recruitment behavior of dust …

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a practical and theoretical framework for the study
of the ecophysiology of mycoheterotrophic plants. We accomplish this by providing a …

• Premise of the study: We investigated whether four widespread, photosynthetic
Mediterranean meadow orchids (Ophrys fuciflora, Anacamptis laxiflora, Orchis purpurea …

Mycorrhizal fungi play a key role in mineral nutrition of terrestrial plants, but the factors
affecting natural distribution, diversity and community composition of particularly tropical …

For germination and establishment, orchids depend on carbon (C) and nutrients supplied by
mycorrhizal fungi. As adults, the majority of orchids then appear to become autotrophic. To …

Mycoheterotrophic plants depend entirely on fungal associations for organic nutrients. While
most mycoheterotrophic plants are associated with the mycorrhizal partners of surrounding …

Carbon (C), nutrients and water (H 2 O) have been known for five decades to flow between
plants through ectomycorrhizal (EM) networks. This flux has the potential to affect plant and …
