MeSH Heading: Mycorrhizae
Tree Number(s): A18.400.525; A19.690; B01.300.655; B05.550
Unique ID: D038821
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D038821
Annotation: coordinate with specific plant and specific fungus if pertinent
Scope Note: Symbiotic combination (dual organism) of the MYCELIUM of FUNGI with the roots of plants (PLANT ROOTS). The roots of almost all higher plants exhibit this mutually beneficial relationship, whereby the fungus supplies water and mineral salts to the plant, and the plant supplies CARBOHYDRATES to the fungus. There are two major types of mycorrhizae: ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae.
Entry Term(s): Arbuscular Mycorrhizae; Ectomycorrhizae; Endomycorrhizae; Mycorrhiza; Mycorrhizae, Arbuscular; Mycorrhizae, Vesicular-Arbuscular; Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae
