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.
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
Symbiosis" is recognized as the definitive work in this area. Since
the last edition was published there have been major advances in
the field, particularly in the area of molecular biology, and the
new edition has been fully revised and updated to incorporate these
exciting new developments.
