Hi Pankaj Ji. You are absolutely correct in saying that there are huge group of green plants that depend on Fungi for nutrition uptake. Now a days even researches debate thats every plants in the world at some point of their life cycle depend on Fungi for nutrition. I only focused on non-green one as Ankush Ji was more emphasizing on it. I think you provided an excellent summery about plant Fungi interaction, which I think is enough. A lots of details can be added but will lead to development of unnecessary complexity. Regards Tanay
