Introduction to Mycorrhiza

Hello everyone! I still have to reference these findings, as well as finish this section. This is just a start to my brainstorming process. Thanks! Brianne Taylor


"Mycor" - "rhiza" is derived from the Greek words meaning "fungus" - "root" [1]. This symbiotic relationship occurs underground between the fungi and the root system of vascular plants. Mycorrhiza colonize in host plant root systems either intracellularly(endomycorrhiza) or extracellularly(ectomycorrhiza). Commonly, upon invasion a mutualistic relationship is established in which hundreds of thousands of mycelial branches are extended into the soil to allow uptake of phosphorous spanning over a large area. However, occasionally upon invasion a pathogenic relationship is established

Acid Rain

Acid rain is formed in the upper atmosphere as NO3 and SO2 are hydrolyzed [2] mixing with rain water and eventually falling back down to earth. Mycorrhizal associations can be affected either indirectly or through influence on host shoots. [3] Acid rain can have differeing effects on different species, one particular ECM fungi ascomycetes Cenococcum spp. has been reported to be more abundant in forests that have under gone acidification, most likely due to decreased competition from other species of fungi.[4] The problem of acid rain is often compounded as an increase in PH leads to an increase in the rate that minerals dissolve such as toxic heavy metals.
