Introduction to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Higher Plant Symbiosis: Characteristic Features, Functions, and Applications

Golam Jalal Ahammed,
Roghieh Hajiboland

Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous, soil-borne, endophytic, obligate biotrophs that colonize the roots of most terrestrial plants to establish mutually beneficial relationships. The colonization of host roots by AMF improves the access of plant roots to nutrients, mainly phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). In return, host plants provide the colonizing fungus with carbon (C)-rich photosynthates such as sugar and lipids. This nutrient exchange strongly impacts plant and microbial ecosystems by influe… Show more

“…In most cases, nutrients analysed are more concentrated in the leaves than other parts of the two plants species despite some exceptions, especially when the plants have been inoculated. This could be attributed to the ability of mycorrhizae to supply nutrients throughout hyphae network draw minerals and water from the soil, thus increasing their host's nutritional resources, mainly for phosphorus which also protects them against saline stress and several pests [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
