Mycorrhizas: Anatomy and Cell Biology
By R. L. Peterson, H. B. Massicotte, and L. H. Melville
Mycorrhizas increase nutrient uptake from the soil, assist in the biocontrol of
pathogenic fungi and nematodes, and have a positive effect on the establishment
of plant communities This beautifully illustrated book presents a summary of all
the mycorrhizal types from a morphological and anatomical perspective.
