Respuesta :

Mycorrhiza, or the association of a fungus with plant roots, and lichen (fungi with blue-green algae combination)are two typical mutualistic connections involving fungi.

Discussion about mutualism-

Many fungi cause plant harm or death. Although there are fungi that are advantageous to plants:

  • The majority of terrestrial plants are closely allied with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungus (AM fungi), which promote their expansion. A gene that is especially triggered by arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungus and affects the growth of the plant root has been discovered by scientists who have examined the evolution of this symbiosis: MIG1, a GRAS transcription factor, promotes the growth of bigger and more numerous root cortical units.
  • Both parties are benefitted: The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungus defends the plants against pests, aids in the extraction of minerals from the soil, including urea, phosphorus, and groundwater, and encourages plant development by affecting root formation.
