Results showed that the root colonization rate of S. gracilis (62.2%) was higher than that of A. conyzoides (36.5%) and P.notatum (37.3%).The arbuscule percentage showed a similar pattern. 结果表明,柱花草根系的侵染率(62.2%)显著高于百喜草(36.5%)和藿香蓟(37.3%),丛枝率有相似的趋势;
So hidden from our eyes, plant roots are colonized by a fungus called arbuscule mycorrhizae.
隐藏在我们的眼皮底下,植物的根茎被一种叫做丛枝菌根的真菌定殖。

So to make the trade, the fungus penetrates into the root cell of the host and forms a tiny structure called an arbuscule, which is Latin for " little tree."
所以为了达成交易,真菌渗透到宿主的根细胞中形成一个叫做丛枝的微小结构,在拉丁语中是“小树”的意思。

Arbuscular mycorrhiza
An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (plural mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas, a.k.a. endomycorrhiza, AM fungi, or AMF) is a type of mycorrhiza in which the fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.
(Not to be confused with ectomycorrhiza or ericoid mycorrhiza.)
