A Cytochemical Study on the Mycorrhizae of Spathoglottis Plicata

S. Senthilkumar, K.V. Krishnamurthy

This paper describes the hitherto unreported aspects of orchid mycorrhizae. The host cells harbour upto 4 generations of fungal pelotons which are formed after each peloton is digested. There are two types of hyphae in a host cell, one forming the pelotons, and the other which lies close to the host cell wall and separated from the former by a callosic wall. The later, called non-pelotonic hyphae form the fresh peloton when the former is digested. Consequently, there are also cytochemical differences between these two types of hyphae.

Keywords: fungi; orchids; peloton
Subjects: fungi, mycorrhizae; mycorrhizae cytochemistry; orchids, mycorrhizae; peloton, mycorrhizae; Spathoglottis plicata
