Definition
| "tree-"; type of mycorrhizal fungi; extend their branching hyphae through the root cell wall and into tubes formed by pushing inward of the root cell membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| hyphae from two mycelia release sexual signaling molecules |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| union of two parent mycelia |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| parts of mycelium contain coexisting, genetically different nuclei during plasmogamy when the fungi don't fuse right away |
