Orchids are evolutionally known to be the most advanced plants in the order Liliales, and comprise approximately 1,000 genera and 35,000 species world-wide. In Korea, more than 110 species of Orchidaceae have been reported to be cultivated or to be collected in the wild. Orchids aye mostly dependant on orchid mycorrhizae(OM) throughout or in part of their life cycle. The OM endomycorrhizae belonging to basidiomycetes or rarley ascomycetes are needed for orchid seed germination. Various fungi, including plant pathogenic, antagonistic and symbiotic fungi, were isolated from the roots of orchid native to Korea. The OM fungi collected from the roots of Cymbidium goeringii were three species of Rhizoctonia namely, R. repens (anamorph state of Tulsanella repens), R. endophytica (Ceratobasidium cornigerum), and an unidentified species (possibly an anamorph of T. calospora). These symbiotic fungi induced peloton in the cortical cells of orchid roots, and differed biologically and in 18s rDNA sequences from plant pathogenic Rhizoctonia species. Also, the mycorrhyzal fungi enhanced the orchid root absorption of nitrogen sources and minerals from the soil. The activity of mycorrhizal fungal hyphae in the roots caused prevention from pathogenic fungi. In nature, the peloton is observed in the cortical cells of Cymbidium goeriingii roots, indicating mycorrhizal colonization in the native orchid roots. On the other hand, pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium and/or Rhizoctonia species are mostly isolated from commercial orchid plants. These suggest that application of symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi should be needed for orchid cultivation in nurseries and at the time of transplanting.

Ten isolates of the orchid mycorrhizal fungi were isolated from the roots of Korean native orchid plants (Cymbidium goeringii) which inhabitate mainly in southern and western areas of Korea. The growth rates and color of the isolates in potato dextrose agar (PDA) were various. Microscopic observations of the hyphae isolated were identified as Rhizoctonia repens and R. endophytica var endophytica or their related species. R. repens was isolated from the roots of the Korean native orchids, but R. endophytica var endophyica was only isolated from the roots of the commercial orchids introduced from foreign countries. Also, the polymorephic patterns of genomic DNA extracted from selected isolates were compared with those of DNA extracted from the orchid mycorrhizal fungi isolated previously and similar band patterns were observed among those isolates. Five isolates of R. repens were selected and cultured at the oatmeal agar for investigating their symbiosis with orchid plants. The symbiotic specificity between orchid plants and isolated orchid mycorrhizal fungi was observe by growing orchids about six months in the greenhouse. The symbiotic responses of the commercial orchid plants with selected isolates were quite different form different isolates due to the genetic variations.

The orchid symbiotic fungi were isolated from the roots of Korean native orchid (Cymbidium goeringii) collected and Chinese orchid (C. sinense) obtained from greenhouses. They were identified as a species of Rhizoctonia, based on the sequences of 18r rDNA, the microscopic observations of mycelia, and the symbiotic relationships with commercial orchids. The isolate collected from Chinese orchids was revealed to be a species of Ceratobasidium endophytica, and to be different from the other isolates at the thickness of the mycelia stained in the root cells of Korean native orchids. The other isolates collected from the Korean native orchids were considered to be a species of Tulsanella repens (anamorphic: Epulorhiza repens) or its related one. The physiologic or microscopic variations were oftenly observed among them, but the tendency of grouping these in the 18s rDNA sequences were observed to be consistent with those of the localities collected. The further taxonomical segregating for Korean symbiotic fungi was not made because the information concerned were limited in this moment, but was recognized as based on the sequences of 18s DNA.

광릉요강꽃(Cypripedium japonicum)과 복주머니란(C. macranthum)의 뿌리에서 난 균근균이 확인되었다. 두 종의 난 뿌리에서 균근의 형태적인 특성을 관찰하였다. 분자적인 분석을 통하여 두 종의 뿌리로부터 난균근균을 확인하였다. 뿌리에서 DNA를 추출하여, 담자균류 ITS 지역에 특이적인 프라이머인 ITS1-OF와 ITS4-OF를 사용하여 ITS 지역을 증폭한 후 염기서열을 분석하여 두 식물의 뿌리에 공생하는 난균근균을 동정하였다. 광릉요강꽃의 뿌리에는 3종류의 Tulasnellaceae와 1종의 담자균류가 발견되었고, 복주머니란의 뿌리에서는 2종류의 Tulasnellaceae에 속하는 균이발견되었다.

Two fungal isolates obtained from roots of Cymbidium goeriingii in Jeju island were confirmed to be symbiotic with orchid plantlets, and were compared with other orchid mycorrhizal(OM) fungi previously isolated. The two isolates differed in their peloton structures formed in the roots of Cymbidium kanran hybrid 'Chungsu' and in responses of orchid plant. These two isolates differed from the additionally tested OM fungi in some features, and from root damaging species of Rhizoctonia and Fusarium as based on cluster analysis after PCR-RAPD with the primers, Bioneer-28 and OPO-2. With this simple and fast technique, it was possible to distinguish OM fungi from the plant root pathogenic fungi based on calculation of their polymorphic bands. This technique can therefore be helpful to distinguish the OM fungi from the root pathogens. Particularly, the new isolates are considered as new resource of symbiotic fungi for horticultural industries.

현재 원예계에서 난의 재배는 중요한 품목이며, 화훼계에서 차지하는 비율이 높다. 우리 나라의 5개 자생지에서 채집한 춘란과 난 농원에서 조직 배양하여 재배한 심비디움류의 뿌리에서 공생하는 균을 분리하고, 또한 염색하여 현미경 관찰을 하였다. 난의 뿌리세포에 침투한 균은 읽히고 꼬인 정도가 다양한 균구를 형성하였다. 균구를 이루는 균사들의 직경은 가느다란 것에서 굵은 것까지 다양했고, 소화 단계상 다양한 균구를 관찰할 수 있었다. 난 뿌리속에 있는 내생균근균을 순수 분리하여 동정하였으며, R. repens와 R. endophytica var. endophytica로 동정하였다. 이들의 균을 제주한란과 오트모론을 이용하여 공생관계를 측정하였다. 또한, 여러 가지 동양란과 서양란의 접종하여 개체당 생체량의 증가율을 측정하였을 때 난균근균에 감염된 실험구의 난이 모두 대조구의 난보다 높은 증가율을 나타내었다. 이것으로부터 우리나라의 자생란인 보춘화에서 분리된 R. repens가 난과식물에 대해 공생 능력이 있는 난균근균임을 확인하였다.

Two types of mycorrhizae, orchid(OM) and arbuscular mycorrhizae(AM), were observed in the cortical cells of Botrychium ternatum roots. The vesicles or arbuscules of AM fungi were examined and the fresh or digestive pelotons by other species of basidiomycetes were also observed in the roots under light microscope. These symbioses were, as the genomic DNAs extracted from roots of B. ternatum reacted with the specific primers, confirmed with PCR technique, being added to more strong evidences. These discoveries were rarely happened in the roots, especially a fern in nature. OM was observed in the roots of B. ternatum collected from the nationwide areas, whereas AM was only in the roots of B. ternatum collected from Chung-Buk areas. It is speculated that OM are associated with the nitrogen cycle in Islands and the growth of B. ternatum in the inland of Central Korea is related to both the phosphate and nitrogen cycle in the nature. The results suggest that B. ternatum is a typical species with two types of mycorrhizae under various growing conditions.
