Scope note: Combinación simbiótica (organismo dual) del MICELIO de HONGOS con las raíces de plantas (RAÍCES DE PLANTAS). Las raíces de casi todas las plantas superiores muestran esta relación mutuamente benéfica, en la que los hongos suministran agua y sales minerales a la planta, y esta proporciona CARBOHIDRATOS al hongo. Existen dos tipos principales de mycorrhizae: el ectomycorrhizae y el endomycorrhizae.

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.

Endomycorrhizae - Narrower
Concept UI M0417491
Scope note The most common type of MYCORRHIZAE where the fungal HYPHAE penetrate into the cortical cells of the plant and there is no sheath formation.
