Hartig Net (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hartig net is a hyphal network, that extends into the root, penetrating between epidermal and cortical cells. This network is a site of nutrient exchange between the fungus and the host plant. Hartig net is typical for ectomycorrhiza. The early research on the anatomy of the interface between ectomycorrhizal fungi and plants was done by Robert Hartig, a 19th- century German plant pathologist, so the Hartig net is named after him.
