UC Delivers ANR News Site Map Mycorrhizae and Roots Mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal tomatos Root architecture and root growth are important for exploration of soil for water and nutrients, as the acquisition of these resources drives plant growth. Several important concepts, however, govern the development of roots and their direct and indirect effects on plant growth: Roots are highly plastic, i.e., architecture and growth are highly responsive to environmental conditions, and therefore can optimize resource acquisition. Tradeoffs exist in root form and function. The costs of producing roots can yield benefits in terms of the acquisition of soil water and nutrients and ultimately, plant growth and fitness. Genetic analysis has revealed that root architectural traits are often multi-gene or quantitative traits. Roots affect attributes of plant communities and ecosystems, due to their effects on resource acquisition, growth, productivity, water budgets, and nutrient cycling. Mycorrhizae are another avenue by which plants increase soil resource acquisition. For many plant species, the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association is known to have the following effects: Fungi extend the network of fine root hairs and increase the uptake of nutrients.

Mycorrhizal Roots Here is a classic picture of mycorrhizae. These pictures are high resolution and will look fantastic on computers with modern video cards. This is the mycorrhizal fungus Laccaria laccata on ponderosa pine. Note the bifuricate shape of the mycorrhizae. You can see the fungal sheath (white area), hyphae, and hyphal strands (if you have 400x vision!). Thank you Jim Trappe for the slide! Scanning Electron Micrographs of Mycorrhizae This is what the outer fungal sheath of a mycorrhizae actually looks like. As the micrograph shows the hyphae are about 1 micron in width. The bar at the bottom is 10 microns. Note the clamp connections i.e. those raised bulbous looking things! Some of the little dots are (likely) bacteria. Yes, the soil bacteria probably have some interaction with the fungus. SEM Photo of the Cross Section of a Mycorrhizae In this photo you are looking at the cross section of a feeder root in mycorrhizal association with a fungus. In the center of the picture you can see the xylem. The large cells are cortical cells. Moving outwards look closely and you will see that the fungus has pushed itself between the cortical cells (Hartig Net: named for Dr. Hartig). Finally, there is the fungal sheath on the outside. The bar in the picture (lower left) is 10 microns. Another close up!

Looking at VA Mycorrhizae "...it is usually impossible to tell whether or not a root system is mycorrhizal without staining and microscopic examination." Mycorrhizal Symbiosis , Smith and Read 1997        Mycorrhizal studies should be simple.  VA mycorrhizae are abundant, free if one wants to take the time to collect field samples, quite reasonably priced if ordering pure cultures from INVAM (the US organization for the distribution and maintenance of mycorrhizal cultures) and tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, soils, moisture levels, and plant hosts.  In practice, though, mycorrhizae are quite difficult to study, and development of simpler and more exact techniques has occupied much of the time and energy of the field.       There are several obstacles for researchers to overcome: 1) Mycorrhizae are obligate symbionts.  Although a few species of ectomycorrhizae have been cultured in nutrient agar, I am not aware of any endomycorrhizae that have been cultured without plant hosts. 2) VA mycorrhizae grow inside opaque plant roots, necessitating some technique for making roots transparent or looking through the roots.  (Extraradical hyphae can be seen with only the help of a light microscope.) 3) Soil is even more opaque than roots, making field studies of VA mycorrhizae by their very nature artificial.  Most techniques for studying VA mycorrhizae in the field involve construction of clear walls against which mycorrhizal roots grow, or the removal of mycorrhizae from soil.

27. Mycorrhizae mycorrhizae result from the symbiosis (partnership) between a fungus hyphae and a living plant root. Symbiotic partnerships occur only between living http://www.herbarium.usu.edu/fungi/FunFacts/Mycorhiz.htm

Home Catalog Mushrooms Mycorrhizae: Plant-Fungus Partners Unlike plants, fungi cannot make their own food. They absorb their food from dead organic matter, or other living organisms. The source of their food is called a substrate if it is dead, and a host if it is living. The body (mycelium) of a fungus is made of threads called hyphae. Hyphae absorb nutrients from the substrate, spread, grow, and produce fruiting bodies. The fruiting body of the fungus is the part that we can see, and touch. Fruiting Bodies Black Truffle Cup Fungus Morel Giant Puffball Mushroom Earth Star Mycorrhizae result from the symbiosis (partnership) between a fungus' hyphae and a living plant root. Symbiotic partnerships occur only between living organisms. If a fungus obtains its carbohydrates from dead organic matter it is a "decomposer" and not symbiotic. Symbiotic partnerships are formed in three ways. A parasitic relationship benefits the fungus but harms the host. In mutual symbiosis, both fungus and host benefit from their partnership. A neutral symbiosis benefits the fungus with no harm or benefit to the host. Mycorrhizal symbioses are mutual and two types are recognized: ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae.

30. Mycorrhiza And Soil Phosphorus Levels Colorado State University Extension Tri Ri The benefits of mycorrhizae are greatest when soil phosphorus levels are at or below 50 ppm (50 mg kg 1). A literature review is provided on this topic. http://www.coopext.colostate.edu/TRA/PLANTS/mycorrhiza.html

Mycorrhiza and soil phosphorus levels Curtis E. Swift, Ph.D. Area Extension Agent (Horticulture) Colorado State University Extension Tri River Area Introduction: Influence of Phosphorus on Mycorrhizae: Very high and very low phosphorus levels may reduce mycorrhizal infection/colonization (Koide, 1991). It is well established that: an increase in the level of soil phosphate results in a reduction in chlamydospore production by the fungus (Menge, et al. 1978). These spores are involved in root infection and spread of the fungus through the soil profile. Research by Abbott and Robson (1979) concluded that levels of soil phosphorus greater than that required for plant growth eliminated the development of the arbuscles of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) types of mycorrhizae. Arbuscles are structures produced within the host plant cells by the VA mycorrhizae. These structures are responsible for the transfer of absorbed nutrients from the fungus to the plant. The arbuscles resemble miniature shrub-like trees (arbuscular = shrub in Latin). Mosse (1973) reports adding phosphate results in no arbuscles forming. What levels of P are critical?

31. Mycorrhiza - Biology Of Mycorrhizae, Importance Of Mycorrhizae A fungus root or mycorrhiza (plural mycorrhizae) is a fungus living in a mutually beneficial symbiosis (or mutualism) with the roots of a vascular plant. http://science.jrank.org/pages/4538/Mycorrhiza.html

Other Free Encyclopedias Science Encyclopedia Science Encyclopedia Vol 4 Mycorrhiza - Biology Of Mycorrhizae, Importance Of Mycorrhizae symbiosis (or mutualism ) with the roots of a vascular plant . In this intimate relationship, the fungus benefits from access to energy-containing carbohydrates, proteins , and other organic nutrients excreted by, or contained in, the roots while the host plant benefits from an enhanced supply of inorganic nutrients, especially phosphorus The fungi carry out this function largely by increasing the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the immediate vicinity of the plant root, and by efficiently absorbing the inorganic nutrients that are liberated by this process. From the perspective of the plant, the most important of the mineral nutrients supplied by the fungus are compounds of phosphorus, and to a lesser degree, of nitrogen Mycorrhizae are a common type of mutualism; about 90% of the families of vascular plants live in this sort of beneficial relationship with fungi. Only a few economically important plant families do not develop mycorrhizae, among them the mustards (family Brassicaceae) and knotweeds (Polygonaceae).

Common Hosts: Most, if not all trees Significance: Mycorrhizae are the rule, not the exception in nature. Only a few plant species and fewer, if any, trees are known to be nonmycorrhizal. In Florida, it would be safe to say that one would be hard pressed to find a nonmycorrhizal tree. Only in special situations such as disturbed or chemically treated (e.g., fumigated) soils are mycorrhizal deficiencies likely to occur. Such deficiencies are often accompanied by stunting and/or poor growth of the host. Recognition: Mycorrhizae are generally divided into two large groups.

Mycorrhizal Types Plant Dependence on Arbuscular Mycorrhizae Responses of Plants to Mycorrhizal Inoculations Beneficial Effects of AM Application of Mycorrhizae in Agriculture Footnotes Importance of Mycorrhizae for Agricultural Crops R. M. Muchovej What are Mycorrhizae? The word mycorrhizae was first used by German researcher A.B. Frank in 1885, and originates from the Greek mycos , meaning 'fungus' and rhiza , meaning 'root'. Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic mutualistic relationship between special soil fungi and fine plant roots; it is neither the fungus nor the root, but rather the structure formed from these two partners. Since the association is mutualistic, both organisms benefit from the association. The fungus receives carbohydrates (sugars) and growth factors from the the plant, which in turn receives many benefits, including increased nutrient absorption. In this association, the fungus takes over the role of the plant's root hairs and acts as an extension of the root system. Mycorrhizae are the rule in nature, not the exception. Most plants (more than 90% of all known species) present at least one type of mycorrhiza. Among important plants that associate with mycorrhizal fungi are corn, carrots, leek, potatoes, beans, soybeans, other legumes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, sunflower, strawberries, citrus, apples, peaches, grapes, cotton, coffee, tea, cocoa, sugarcane, forest species, wild plants, and even weeds. Cabbage, Cruciferae in general, and some aquatic plants are usually non-mycorrhizal.
