In this review, we synthesize field and culture studies of the 15N/14N (expressed as δ15 N)
of autotrophic plants, mycoheterotrophic plants, parasitic plants, soil, and mycorrhizal fungi …

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

Almost all plants are engaged in symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi. These soil
fungi can promote plant growth by supplying limiting nutrients to plant roots in return for plant …

We present the 1.06 Gb sequenced genome of Gastrodia elata, an obligate
mycoheterotrophic plant, which contains 18,969 protein-coding genes. Many genes …

To improve our understanding of the origin and evolution of mycoheterotrophic plants, we
here present the chromosome-scale genome assemblies of two sibling orchid species …

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 …

Mycorrhizal fungi are central to the biology of land plants. However, to what extent
mycorrhizal shifts–broad evolutionary transitions in root‐associated fungal symbionts–are …

Background Myco-heterotrophic plants are partly or entirely non-photosynthetic plants that
obtain energy and nutrients from fungi. These plants form a symbiosis with arbuscular …
