Mycorrhizas by R. Larry Peterson,Hugues B. Massicotte,Lewis H. Melville Pdf
Mycorrhizas are soil-inhabiting fungi that form mutualistic root/fungal associations. The intention of this book is to provide a summary of all the mycorrhizal categories from a morphological & anatomical perspective. The first seven chapters cover the seven categories of mycorrhizas based on the structural features of the symbiosis between the plant and the fungus involved: ectomycorrhizas, ectendomycorrhizas, and arbuscular mycorrhizas, ericoid, arbutoid, monotropoid, & orchid mycorrhizas. The final chapter describes dark septate fungal endophytes of roots. Includes glossary and index.
