📄 Abstract
Mycorrhizal symbiosis plays a crucial role in the conservation and propagation of orchids, especially endangered species, by enhancing nutrient uptake, seed germination, and stress tolerance. This study aims to explore the specific interactions between orchids and mycorrhizal fungi to develop conservation strategies and improve propagation techniques. Field surveys and laboratory experiments will be conducted to identify and characterize the mycorrhizal fungi associated with endangered orchids. The effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis on seed germination, seedling growth, and nutrient acquisition will be assessed under controlled conditions. The impact of habitat degradation and fragmentation on mycorrhizal associations will also be investigated. The findings of this research could contribute to the development of mycorrhizal-based biotechnologies for orchid conservation and propagation, highlighting the importance of mycorrhizal symbiosis in orchid biology and ecology.
