Biotechnology of arbuscular mycorrhizas

2002
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 provides an overview and analyzes important data on the main parameters affecting fungal infectivity and efficiency and on fungal ability to survive, multiply and spread in

Symbiotic phosphate transport in arbuscular mycorrhizas

Trends in Plant Science, 2005
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonize the root systems of most land plants and modulate plant growth by enhancing the availability of nutrients, mainly phosphorus, for plant nutrition. Recently identified genes encoding mycorrhiza-specific plant phosphate transporters have enabled fundamental problems in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis research to be ...

Establishment and Functioning of Arbuscular Mycorrhizas

2009
Located at the interface with the soil, plant roots are the preferred niche for many soil fungi that live in the rhizosphere as saprotrophs or are directly associated to the photosynthetic plants as symbionts. Among the latter, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi represent a vital component in plant ecosystems: they have a widespread distribution in very

Multi-functionality and biodiversity in arbuscular mycorrhizas

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1995
Plant roots in natural ecosystems are typically colonized by a wide range of fungi. Some of these are pathogenic, others appear to be opportunistic and have no apparent impact, while mycorrhizal fungi are generally regarded as mutualistic. Of the various types of mycorrhizal fungi, the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association is by far the most abundant

Arbuscular mycorrhizas in cycads of southern India

Mycorrhiza, 2002
Root and soil samples of three potted or ground-grown cycads ( Cycas circinalis, C. revoluta, Zamiasp.) were collected between November 1999 and June 2000 and surveyed for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and spore populations. AM fungi were associated with all root systems and rhizosphere samples examined.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: An Overview

2017
Almost every plant in natural ecosystem forms association with fungi either intracellularly as in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or extracellularly as in ectomycorrhizal fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs) represent the most widespread symbiosis with land plants.

The distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizas in the British flora

New Phytologist, 1993
SUMMARYArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations with higher plants are common in many ecosystems but some plant species are consistently never or rarely infected. These species may differ morphologically or occur in different habitats from species which are usually mycorrhizal. A large data‐set on the ecology of British angiasperms was used to test for

Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae in relation to plant disease

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1992
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) enhance plant growth through increased nutrient uptake, stress tolerance and disease resistance. As an integral part of the root system, they interact with other microorganisms in soil and result in increased root exudation approaching about 25% of the plant dry matter production.

The Mechanisms of Nutrient Uptake by Arbuscular Mycorrhizae

2017
Mycorrhizal fungi are one of the commonly occurring living organism in soil facilitating plants in growth, development, stress tolerance, soil pollutants remediation, C-sequestration, food security and agricultural sustainability. Mycorrhizal fungi assist the plants in nutrient absorption by extending mycorrhizal hyphae network beyond the rhizosphere ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza, a fungal perspective

2020
Plants rely on the symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to efficiently obtain mineral nutrients, especially phosphate, from the soil. In addition of their role in plant mineral nutrition, AM fungi can offer a range of benefits to their plant hosts in return for photosynthates.
