• Microbial Endophytes of Orchid Roots (2006, background): “This means that seed germination and seedling growth tests in vitro may not be entirely accurate in distinguishing mycorrhizal fungi from non-mycorrhizal endophytes (Rasmussen 2002).”
• Exploring structural definitions of mycorrhizas, with emphasis on nutrient-exchange interfaces (2004, background): “As pointed out by Rasmussen (2002), this appears to be a novel mycorrhiza type and deserves further study.”
• Studies of Mycorrhizal Fungi of Chinese Orchids and Their Role in Orchid Conservation in China—A Review (2010, background): “These important discoveries escaped the attention of English-based mycorrizal literature until the early 21st century (e.g. Rasmussen, 2002; Zettler et al., 2003).”
• Terrestrial orchid conservation in the age of extinction. (2009, background): “The requirement for specialized mycorrhizal fungi in terrestrial orchid germination is well documented (Burgeff, 1909; Curtis, 1939; Warcup, 1971; Batty et al., 2002; Rasmussen, 2002), but the degree of dependency in mature plants is less clear.”
• Cephalanthera longifolia (Neottieae, Orchidaceae) is mixotrophic: a comparative study between green and nonphotosynthetic individuals (2006, methodology): “Traditional methods of identifying orchid mycorrhizal fungi (collectively placed in the polyphyletic, asexual genus Rhizoctonia) were based on isolation and characterization in pure culture (Rasmussen 2002).”
• Conservation In vitro of threatened plants—Progress in the past decade (2006, background): “Most tropical orchids germinate readily in axenic culture (Seaton and Ramsay, 2005); however, many temperate orchids do not and techniques such as mycorrhiza-assisted germination (Rasmussen, 2002) have been developed for such species.”
• Classification of Rhizoctonia spp. using rDNA-ITS sequence analysis supports the genetic basis of the classical anastomosis grouping (2008, background): “(including UNR, BNR, and MNR isolates) in mycorrhizal associations with orchids as well as of many other fungal species is widely documented (Warcup and Talbot 1971; Currah et al. 1987; Andersen and Stalpers 1994; Andersen and Rasmussen 1996; Zelmer et al. 1996; Currah et al. 1997; Carling et al. 19”
• Variation in mycorrhizal performance in the epiphytic orchid Tolumnia variegata in vitro: the potential for natural selection (2004, background): “Some plant pathogenic fungi are able to induce seed germination and seedling development of orchid seeds in vitro, even if they do not do so in the field (Masuhara et al., 1993; Masuhara and Katsuya, 1994; Rasmussen, 2002).”
• Plant responses to agricultural intensification (2008, background): “Grasses and forbs are predicted to respond positively to increasing soil fertility, while responses of shrubs and geophytes, often highly dependent on mycorrhiza for phosphorous acquisition, are likely to be negative (Heddle & Specht 1975; Rasmussen 2002).”
