Mycorrhizal fungi associated with Codonorchis lessonii (Brongn.) Lindl., a terrestrial orchid from Chile

ABSTRACT Almost all orchid species depend on association with fungal partners. These fungal species facilitate orchid seed germination and promote growth and possibly stress tolerance in adult plants, both in the field and laboratory conditions. Codonorchis lessonii is a terrestrial orchid, endemic...

These fungal species facilitate orchid seed germination and promote growth and possibly stress tolerance in adult plants, both in the field and laboratory conditions. Codonorchis lessonii is a terrestrial orchid, endemic to southern Chile and Argentina with a currently unknown conservation status.
