Soilborne fungi - Steinkellner Siegrid, Mammerler Roswitha, Nell Monika Mycorrhiza - Vierheilig Horst Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic soil fungi which colonize roots of about 80% of vascular plants. The mycorrhizal symbiosis enhances the growth and survival of numerous plant species. The complex cellular relationship between the host roots and AMF requires a continuous exchange of signals, which in return affects the regulation of genes whose products participate in metabolic and structural changes that lead to the symbiosis. |
