Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and their Value for Ecosystem Management

Abstract

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are a group of obligate biotrophs, to the extent that they must develop a close symbiotic association with the roots of a living host plant in order to grow and complete their life cycle [1]. The term “mycorrhiza” literally derives from the Greek mykes and rhiza, meaning fungus and root, respectively. AMF can symbiotically interact with almost all the plants that live on the Earth. They are found in the roots of about 80-90% of plant species (mainly grasses, agricultural crops and herbs) and exchange benefits with their partners, as is typical of all mutual symbiotic relationships [2]. They represent an interface between plants and soil, growing their mycelia both inside and outside the plant roots. AMF provide the plant with water, soil mineral nutrients (mainly phosphorus and nitrogen) and pathogen protection. In exchange, photosynthetic compounds are transferred to the fungus [3].
