This book is highly recommended on the basis of the following
points:
- The editors are highly regarded in the field of mycorrhizal
biology and one is co-author of the most comprehensive textbook on
mycorrhizas;
- Chapters by international experts based on invited presentations
at the 3rd International Conference on Mycorrhizas, supplemented by
invited chapters on special topics;
- Mycorrhizas are being increasingly recognised as ubiquitous
plant/fungal symbioses, with the potential to influence the
function and ecology of around 90% of all land plants; perhaps the
most common and also ancient terrestrial symbioses in
existence;
- This book has a broad coverage of biology of symbioses between
mycorrhizal fungi and plants, especially ecto- and arbuscular
mycorrhizas (other recent texts have focused mainly on arbuscular
mycorrhizal symbioses);
- Forward-looking review chapters by keynote speakers including an
overview of research challenges for the future;
- Up-to-date research focus;
- Coverage includes: molecular diversity and detection of
mycorrhizal fungi; cellular and molecular interactions between the
symbionts; physiology of the interactions; implications of the
symbioses for ecosystem processes, including agriculture;
- Several complementary chapters on some topics, ensuring that
different perspectives are presented (recent edited volumes have
had a smaller group of authors and hence narrower focus);
- Readership from advanced undergraduate students in biology
(particularly plant science), postgraduate students and researchers
in universities and government agencies.
