A Study on Mycorrhizal Microstructure of Wild Cymbidium ensifolium / 广州中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

The microstructure of mycorrhiza of wild Cymbidium ensifolium, collected from the mountains of north Guangdong was studied. The results showed that this species possesses the typical mycorrhizal structure of orchid plant. Mycorrhizal fungi invaded the cortex parenchyma by velamen and exodermis, and then, form pelotons and expanded part of area of cortex. The intracellular mycelium was digested and absorbed with clumps of digested material in some cells.
