ENH1086: Mycorrhizae: Implications for Environmental Remediation and Resource Conservation

Figure 2. The arrows on the left panel point to arbuscules, which are characteristic of arbuscular mycorrhizae (endomycorrhizae) and provide the interface for nutrient transfer between the fungus and the plant cell. The arrows on the right panel show vesicles, used for storage of carbon by the fungus within the plant cell.
