Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Burmannia tenella forms star-shaped root systems.
- Observation Roots of Burmannia tenella are succulent and 0.7-2 mm thick.
- Observation Roots of Burmannia tenella reach lengths of up to 3 cm.
- Observation Burmannia tenella root cortex consists of about 10 layers of parenchymatous cells.
- Observation The fungal association of Burmannia tenella is considered a Paris-type arbuscular mycorrhiza.
- Association The second fungus restricts the spread of the aseptate mycorrhizal symbiont in Burmannia tenella roots.
