What is mycorrhiza and why is it important?
By definition, mycorrhiza is the product of a symbiotic association between fungi and green plants. The plants prepare sugar through the process of photosynthesis for the fungus, and in turn, the fungus provides essential minerals such as phosphorous to the plant. Mycorrhizal plants are also more adept at surviving than non-mycorrhizal plants.
How many different types of mycorrhizae are there?
There are several thousand different species of mycorrhiza fungi. Mycorrhizae are classified into two types, based on the location of the fungal hyphae in relation to the root tissues of the plant with endomycorrhiza producing hyphae inside the roots and ectomycorrhiza-producing hyphae outside the roots.
How do Mycorrhizal Fungi communicate with each other?
Nutrient exchanges and communication between a mycorrhizal fungus and plants. Mycorrhizal fungi form a mutualistic relationship with the roots of most plant species. In such a relationship, both the plants themselves and those parts of the roots that host the fungi, are said to be mycorrhizal.
