The Genomic Impact of Mycoheterotrophy in Orchids

The Genomic Impact of Mycoheterotrophy in Orchids

Mycoheterotrophic plants have lost the ability to photosynthesize and obtain essential mineral and organic nutrients from associated soil fungi. Despite involving radical changes in life history traits and ecological requirements, the transition from autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy has occurred indep...
