Symbioses are ubiquitous in nature and influence individual plants and populations. Orchids
have life history stages that depend fully or partially on fungi for carbon and other essential …

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

Estimates suggest that only one-tenth of the true fungal diversity has been described.
Among numerous fungal lineages known only from environmental DNA sequences, Soil …

ABSTRACT A six-gene phylogeny of the Inocybaceae is presented to address classification
of major clades within the family. Seven genera are recognized that establish a global …

Our understanding of human gut microbiota in health and disease depends on accurate and
reproducible microbial data acquisition. The critical step in this process is to apply an …

This chapter provides a description of all plant families and genera that include putative fully
mycoheterotrophic species, excluding initial and partial mycoheterotrophs. The overview …

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 …

Since the early colonization of land, plants depend, to various extents, on mycorrhizal fungi
to meet their nutrient demands. In most mycorrhizal symbioses, plants provide sugars …

Some green orchids obtain carbon from their mycorrhizal fungi, as well as from
photosynthesis. These partially mycoheterotrophic orchids sometimes produce fully …

The establishment of common mycelial networks by mycorrhizal fungi shared between host
plants depends on the ability of neighboring plants to enter into mycorrhizal associations …
