Mycorrhizal symbiosis has been evolved to be ubiquitous in natural and agricultural
ecosystems. Mycorrhiza formation helps host plants acquire more nutrients and water …

Ectomycorrhizal symbioses involve roots of trees and soilborne fungi, which interact to
create mutualistic interactions beneficial for both partners. This chapter gives an overview of …

The roots of most plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza, which play a
critical role in the capture of nutrients from the soil and therefore in plant nutrition …

Mycorrhizal fungi are a heterogeneous group of diverse fungal taxa, associated with the
roots of over 90% of all plant species. Recently, state-of-the-art molecular and genetic tools …

Although there is evidence for an interplay of signalling/recognition events at different stages
during plant/fungal interactions in arbuscular mycorrhiza, the nature of signalling molecules …

Mycorrhizal symbiosis has received special attention due to its benefits for terrestrial plants
and soil sustainability. Here, we focus on the most important aspects of plant interaction with …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are non-specific symbionts developing mutual and
beneficial symbiosis with most terrestrial plants. Because of the obligatory nature of the …

Many microorganisms form symbioses with plants that range, on a continuous scale, from
parasitic to mutualistic. Among these, the most widespread mutualistic symbiosis is the …

Symbiotic interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi have a major impact on plant
growth, development and evolution. Among them, the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis …

Dissimilar and diverse symbiotic mycorrhizal interactions within plants and fungi occur,
which is almost ubiquitous and universal, in the broad range of global ecosystems. The …
