(my´ ka rye´ za) [Gr. mykes: fungus + rhiza: root] • An association of the root of a plant with the mycelium of a fungus.
a mutualistic relationship between a soil fungus and a plant root in which the fungus obtains a supply of high energy organic molecules from the plant, and the plant's ability to get nutrients, especially phosphorus, and water from the soil are increased. The mycorrhizal relationship may also confer on plant roots increased resistance to pathogens.
A mutually beneficial symbiotic association between the roots of plants, especially trees, and a fungus.
a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and the roots of a plant.
(Gr. mukes, fungus; rhiza, root) Mutualistic relationship between plant root and fungal mycelium. (pl. = mycorrhizas)
The mutually beneficial growing together of mycelia and the root hairs of trees and other plants.
This refers to the association between the mycelium of a fungus and the rootlets of plants. Little is known of the associations between fungi and plants in Australia hence the important questions on habitat and nearest tree/plant in the mapping scheme
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and plant roots.
a distinct type of root symbiosis in which individual hyphae extending from the mycelium of a fungus colonize the roots of a host plant
a situation where a fungal mycelium attaches itself to the roots of a plant, and the two exchange nutrients
a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a plant root
a symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungus (actually, usually many fungi ) - - the fungus attaches itself to the plants roots and functions as an extended root system for the plant, seeking out water and minerals that the plant can't get to
Fungi which grows onto plant roots and can increase the uptake of plant nutrients.
symbiotic association of fungi with the roots of vascular plants
I s a white beneficial fungus that is often found in the soil around pine trees. It usually appears to be small mats of white filaments each about 1/4 inch long , helping them absorb nutrients.
Occurs when a fungus (basidiomycete or zygomycete) weaves around or into a plant's roots and forms a symbiotic relationship. Fungal hyphae absorb minerals from the soil and pass them on to the plant roots while the fungus obtains carbohydrates from the plant (pl.: mycorrhizae).
(pl. Mycorrhizae) - A symbiotic assocation of a fungus with the roots of a plant. Necrosis (adj. Necrotic) - The death or disintegration of cells and tissues.
a symbiotic union between a fungus and a plant root.
The association of specific fungi with the roots of specific plants. Usually symbiotic.
symbiotic association between hyphae of certain fungi and roots of plants.
A symbiotic association between a plant root and fungal hyphae
many plants form root associations with specific soil fungi. The resulting root-fungal structures are termed mycorrhizas. These associations usually benefit the plant because the fungi allows them greater access to soil nutrients.
A unique association generally considered mutually advantageous between the root tissue of higher plants and fungi.
A type of soil fungus that forms a win-win partnership with plants, substantially benefiting most agricultural crops. Frequent tillage, fallowed fields and broad-spectrum fungicides often reduce mycorrhizal association.
(pl. mycorrhizae) The symbiotic combination of the hyphae of certain fungi with the root of a plant.
Literally fungus root. The association, usually symbiotic, of specific fungi with the roots of specific higher plants.
A symbiotic association between a fungus and a higher plant, most often consisting of an intimate relation between the plant's roots and the fungal mycelium.
mutually beneficial association between plant root and fungus. More information
A specialized root structure resulting from a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a higher plant. (Pl. mycorrhizae.) ( 15)
Symbiotic association between hyphae of certain fungi and absorptive organs, usually plant roots.
A mycorrhiza (typically seen in the plural forms mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas, Greek for fungus roots) is the result of a mutualistic association between a fungus and a plant. This mutualism takes place at the root level, where individual hyphae extending from the mycelium of a fungus colonize the roots of a host plant, either intracellularly or extracellularly.
