Exodermis structure controls fungal invasion in the leafless epiphytic orchid Dendrophylax lindenii (Lindl.) Benth. ex Rolfe

Leafless and shootless epiphytic orchids rely essentially on CAM photosynthesis in roots for carbon gain. However, it is believed that a proportion of carbon is obtained by endomycorrhizal associations. In this study, we show that Dendrophylax lindenii possesses a dimorphic exodermis with smaller, t...
