Journal ArticleDOI

Photosynthetic Mediterranean meadow orchids feature partial mycoheterotrophy and specific mycorrhizal associations.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic and multivariate comparisons indicated that even in sunny Mediterranean meadows, orchids may be mycoheterotrophic, with correlated mycorrhizal fungal specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Guinea has the world’s richest island flora

Rodrigo Cámara-Leret, +113 more
- 05 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: A catalogue of the vascular flora of New Guinea indicates that this island is the most floristically diverse in the world, and that 68% of the species identified are endemic to New Guinea.
Journal ArticleDOI

C and N stable isotope signatures reveal constraints to nutritional modes in orchids from the Mediterranean and Macaronesia

TL;DR: Most adult orchids of open habitats in the Mediterranean and Macaronesia show weak or no N gains from fungi and no C gain through mycoheterotrophy, while isotope signatures of some of these species indicate net plant-to-fungus C transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression in mycorrhizal orchid protocorms suggests a friendly plant–fungus relationship

TL;DR: The data on mycorrhizal protocorms do not support this view as plant defence genes were not induced, whereas some nodulin-like genes were significantly up-regulated, suggesting that fungal colonization does not trigger strong plant defence responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal variation in mycorrhizal diversity and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope abundance in the wintergreen meadow orchid Anacamptis morio

TL;DR: Observations suggest that, irrespective of differences in the seasonal environmental conditions, the plant phenological stages and the associated fungi, the isotopic content in mycorrhizal A. morio remains fairly constant over time.
