Mychorrhizal functioning - Michael F Allen

It is now known that over 90 percent of all plants have
established integrative plant-fungal processes in their root systems,
and it may
well turn out to be the case that virtually all plants
have
mycorrhizae. In this work, many of the best researchers in the
field
review the current status of research in plant-fungal
communications,
mycorrhizal organisms, applications, and
biotechnology. The focus is
a hierarchical one. This volume is
comprehensive and covers both
ectomycorrhizae and
vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae, addressing
concepts that are
related to all the different groups. Mycorrhizal
Functioning will be
of interest to professionals and graduate
students in microbiology,
ecology, mycology, plant pathology, plant
science, and soil science.
Those working in the agricultural
biotechnology industry will also
benefit from the book's applications
perspective.
