We studied mycorrhizal symbioses of Cephalanthera falcata (Orchidaceae) in a population that included giant individuals, some of which were over 50 cm in height and had more than 10 shoots, as well as in two nearby habitats without giant individua...
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a symbiotic interaction in terrestrial plants that is colonized by fungi in the Glomeromycotina. The morphological types of AM, including the Arum-type and Paris-type, are distinct, depending on the host plant species...
We investigated arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities in secondary forests and/or Chamaecyparis obtusa plantations at eight study sites in Japan's temperate region. In the secondary forests, AM plants of the families Lauraceae, Sapindacea...
The majority of chlorophyllous orchids form mycorrhizal associations with so-called rhizoctonia fungi, a phylogenetically heterogeneous assemblage of predominantly saprotrophic fungi in Ceratobasidiaceae, Tulasnellaceae, and Serendipitaceae. It is...
