Mycorrhizal fungi are microbial engines which improve plant
vigor and soil quality. They play a crucial role in plant nutrient
uptake, water relations, ecosystem establishment, plant diversity,
and the productivity of plants. Scientific research involves
multidisciplinary approaches to understand the adaptation of
mycorrhizae to the rhizosphere, mechanism of root colonization,
effect on plant physiology and growth, biofertilization, plant
resistance and biocontrol of plant pathogens. This book discusses
and goes into detail on a number of topics: the molecular basis of
nutrient exchange between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and
host plants; the role of AM fungi in disease protection,
alleviation of soil stresses and increasing grain production;
interactions of AM fungi and beneficial saprophytic mycoflora in
terms of plant growth promotion; the role of AM fungi in the
restoration of native ecosystems; indirect contributions of AM
fungi and soil aggregation to plant growth and mycorrhizosphere
effect of multitrophic interaction; the mechanisms by which
mycorrhizas change a disturbed ecosystem into productive land; the
importance of reinstallation of mycorrhizal systems in the
rhizosphere is emphasized and their impact on landscape
regeneration, and in bioremediation of contaminated soils;
Ectomycorrhizae (ECM) and their importance in forest ecosystems and
associations of ECM in tropical rain forests function to maintain
tropical monodominance; in vitro mycorrhization of micro-propagated
plants, and visualizing and quantifying endorhizal fungi; the use
of mycorrhizae, mainly AM and ECM, for sustainable agriculture and
forestry.
