SLSC 398 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Ion, Germination, Fumigation
Document Summary
The organism can get in where the cellulose wall is incomplete or thin. The tip is more vulnerable and it protects it chemically is releases defensive molecules, chemicals, exudates. Endophytes get in here, they are parasitic. Once you get it there it a lot of nutrient that the root is taking up and you wont be eaten by anything else since you are inside. They are the only secretary cells that plants have they make exudates, 90% of them come from the tip of the ne roots. It takes it harder for bacteria to swim through its harder for nematodes to swim through it makes it harder for microbes to ingest. Most plants have symbiosis with mycorrhizae, it increase tolerance to stress, it improves water uptake because fungus extends beyond the root system ( deeper and further ) Intact fungus in the soil is hundreds of meters in diameter.
