Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate biotrophs which, after root colonization, exert
widely accepted benefits to a wide range of host-plant species. The fungi colonize the root …

It is not yet routine to cultivate all arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in vitro on root organs.
This is because these fungi are unable to complete their life cycle in the absence of a …

The monoxenic culture of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has markedly improved our
understanding of the symbiosis. In the past 15 years, increasing amounts of literature have …

A reliable inoculum, free from other microorganisms, to produce arbuscular mycorhizal (AM)
plants is of the greatest importance when studying the interaction between AM plants and …

Research on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the 1970s and 1980s was dominated by
the search for 'superstrains' capable of increasing plant biomass under any environmental …

Actively growing extraradical hyphae extending from mycorrhizal plants are an important
source of inoculum in soils which has seldom been considered in vitro to inoculate young …

Many different cultivation techniques and inoculum products of the plant-beneficial
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been developed in the last decades. Soil-and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ecologically important for most vascular plants for
their growth and survival. AM fungi are obligate symbionts. In recent years, there have been …

Publisher Summary Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations established between thousands
of species of soil-borne fungi and the roots of most terrestrial plant species. This chapter …

Inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has potential benefits in not only
sustainable crop production but also environmental conservation. However, the difficulty of …
