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 ...

Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza and nodulation in soybean

Folia Microbiologica, 1979
Dual infections of Glycine max with VA endophytes and Rhizobium, compared with Rhizobium alone, increased the number and weight of nodules significantly in natural field soil and obviated the need of phosphate application for successful nodulation.

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.

Signalling in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza: Facts and Hypotheses

2002
The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is an association between plant roots and fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize roots improving plant nutrition mainly by transferring phosphate (P) from the soil to the plant, whereas plants provide the fungi with carbohydrates (Smith and Read, 1997).

Ecophysiology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizas in Cotton

2010
All the time! Healthy cotton plants growing in soil are always part of a mycorrhiza. A mycorrhiza is a symbiosis; a complex interaction that involves structural and physiological integration of a plant and one or more species of fungus. The symbiosis is based upon an exchange of nutrients and carbohydrates that, on balance, is mutually beneficial to ...
