Mycorrhiza
Classification
Mycorrhiza
A symbiotic or pathogenic relationship between fungi and the vascular plant roots
Plants give carbohydrates produced by photothynthesis to fungi
Fungi give nutritents for photothynthesis, in particular, N and P, to plants
the hyphae penetrating the plant cell wall and invaginate the cell membrane
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM, formerly VAM)
Glomeromycota
Ericoid mycorrhiza
Arbutoid mycorrhiza
Orchid mycorrhiza
Monotropoid mycorrhiza
the hyphae not penetrating plant cells within the root
Ectendomycorrhiza
in case that the hyphae of ectomycorrhiza penetrate the plant cells
| Fig. 1. Five types of mycorrhizae observed on Mount Koma in 2000. A: arbuscular mycorrhizae detected from the roots of Elaeanus pungens Thunb., B: ectomycorrhizae from the roots of Salix bakko Kimura., C: ericoid mycorrhizae from the roots of Ledum palustre L. var. diversipilosum Nakai, D: orchid mycorrhizae from Spiranthes sinensis (Pers.) Ames, and E: arbutoid mycorrhizae from Pyrola incarnata Fisch. M: mantle, H: hyphae, C: hyphal coil, V: vesicules, and A: arbuscules. OH: outer hyphae. IHC: Intracellular-hyphae-complex. No monotropoid mycorrhizae were observed in the present study. Each scale bar indicates 50 mm. (Tsuyuzaki et al. 2005) |
