    • found: Brundrett, M. Arbuscular mycorrhizas, via WWW, Oct. 25, 2007(VAM associations; these associations are known as arbuscular mycorrhizas, VA mycorrhizas, endomycorrizas, or endotrophic mycorrhizas and are abbreviated as VAM here. There is disagreement about whether arbuscular mycorrhizas or vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas is the most appropriate name to use, because some fungi do not produce vesicles, arbuscules are not always present in roots and the role of arbuscules in nutrient exchange has not been confirmed)
    • found: Vesicular-arbuscular and arbuscular mycorrhizas, via WWW, Oct. 25, 2007(Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas (VAM) and arbuscular mycorrhizas are mutualistic symbioses formed between the roots of most plants and fungi in the order Glomales; Vesicular-arbuscular (VA) and arbuscular mycorrhizas are endomycorrhizas formed by Zygomycete like fungi and the roots of most families of Angiosperms as well as Gymnosperms, Pteridophytes and Bryophytes (liverworts); that members of two genera do not form vesicles has led to a debate as to whether the name arbuscular mycorrhizas is more appropriate than vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas for this relationship or whether the more appropriate of the two terms should be used depending on the fungal species present)
