Un acercamiento al mundo de las Ectomicorrizas

Contenido principal del artículo

Eduardo J. Pérez Ortega

Resumen

Las ectomicorrizas generalmente se consideran la asociación simbiótica más avanzada entre plantas superiores y hongos porque, aunque involucran solo alrededor del 3% de las plantas con semillas, todas estas son especies leñosas, árboles y arbustos, incluida la mayoría de los árboles forestales. Por lo tanto, la asociación ectomicorrízica es importante a nivel mundial debido a la gran área cubierta por estas plantas y debido a su valor económico como fuente de madera. En la presente revisión se hace referencia a las características de la asociación, teniendo en cuenta la morfología de la simbiosis, los mecanismos empleados para establecer la asociación y como influencia en la nutrición de las plantas.
