Mycorrhiz : Anatomy and Cell Biology

Symbiotic relations between roots and fungi (mycorrhizas) are the most prevalent symbiotic systems on earth.

For example, mycorrhizas increase nutrient uptake from soil, assist in the biocontrol of pathogenic fungi and nematodes, and have a positive effect on the establishment of plant communities.

Mycorrhizal associations can be found in all ecosystems and in important forest and crop species.

This book provides a summary of all the mycorrhizal categories from a morphological and anatomical perspective.
