Abstract: While most green orchids establish associations with non-ectomycorrhizal rhizoctonias belonging to Ceratobasidiaceae, Tulasnellaceae, and Serendipitaceae, fully mycoheterotrophic orchids—excluding albino mutants—primarily depend on either ectomycorrhizal fungi or saprotrophic non-rhizoctonia fungi. This suggests that non-ectomycorrhizal rhizoctonias may… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Fully mycoheterotrophic plants have attracted attention due to their ability to obtain carbon and mineral nutrients directly from fungal hyphae. However, research on bacteria associated with full mycoheterotrophs is limited. This study identifies rhizosferic… read more here.
