Question

Dfine ecto-mycorrhizae and endo-mycorrhizae

Answer 1

mycorrhizae, mycorrhiza or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. The term mycorrhiza refers to the role of the fungus in the plant's rhizosphere, its root system. Mycorrhizae play important roles in plant nutrition, soil biology and soil chemistry.

Answer:

Mycorrhizae, mycorrhiza or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. The term mycorrhiza refers to the role of the fungus in the plant's rhizosphere, its root system. Mycorrhizae play important roles in plant nutrition, soil biology and soil chemistry.

Endomycorrhizae refers to the type of close relationship between a plant and root fungi in which the hyphae or thread-like material of the fungus actually penetrates the cells of the root, rather than just colonizing on its surface.

Ectomycorrhizae is the fungi that wraps around the roots of the plants and does not penetrate the cell wall of the roots giving the plants a greater chance of survival. In return, the fungus allows the plant to better absorb water and minerals.

The key difference between ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae is that the fungal hyphae do not penetrate into the cortical cells of the plant roots in ectomycorrhizae while the fungal hyphae penetrate into the cortical cells of the plant roots in endomycorrhizae.
