1. Plant & Microbe Interaction b.stev plant roots

2. THE “root” of 95% of plants have adapted fungal growth that enhances their survival KNOWN AS: mycorrhizae , it is a beneficial relationship for the fungus as the plant releases some sugars & amino acids from the process of photosynthesis (Wikipedia, 2008)

5. cortex FUNGAL SHEATH FUNGAL SHEATH: between cortical cells epidermis section of a PLANT ROOT [ ecto mycorrhizae] (Campbell & Reece, 2005)

6. epidermis cortex intra cellular hyphae extra cellular hyphae root hair section of a PLANT ROOT [ endo mycorrhizae] arbuscules (Campbell & Reece, 2005)

8. DERIVE the physical support from their host & , NUTRIENTS derived from PHOTOSYNTHESIS overgrowth of an EPIPHYTIC PLANT can cause the host to be strangled &THEN replaces the HOST : (number of years) EXAMPLE: climbing plants OR crawlers (Wikipedia, 2008)
