Article Abstract:

A new and simple definition of mycorrhizas is presented to encompass the full diversity of associations, responsible for the nutrient transfer at an interface resulting from synchronized plant-fungus development. Mycorrhizas are also known for balanced mutualistic associations, whereby the fungus and plant exchange commodities are required for the growth and survival of both partners.
