Cell structure of epiphytic orchids’ root cortex and exodermis shape fungal colonization

Nikita Bibikov,

et al.

Abstract: Epiphytic orchids unlike terrestrial species possess water storage elements as an adaptation to dry habitats. Two types of structures are present in roots and thus involved in interaction with mycorrhizal fungi that obligately colonize roots. Lignified water storage cells (WSC) are situated in cortex and perform the function of water storage. Among lignified exodermis cells thin-walled passage cells (PC) are present. These elements are necessary for water exchange between cortex and the environment. In this st… Show more
