| Definitions |
[Henderson's] mycorrhiza n. symbiotic association between plant roots and certain fungi, in which a sheath of fungal tissue (the mantle) encloses the smallest rootlets. There are two main types. In ectomycorrhizas the fungal hyphae penetrate between the cells of the epidermis and cortex. In endomycorrhizas they penetrate the plant cells themselves and an external fungal sheath is often lacking. Mycorrhizas are essential for optimum growth and development in many trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. plu. mycorrhizae, mycorrhizas. a. mycorrhizal. |
