1. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Their Role in Modern Agriculture

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbionts of over 90% of land plants, including most of the worlds economically important food crops. This symbiosis is believed to have evolved some 400 million years ago concurrentwith land plant flora to assist in phosphate uptake, an ion of poor mobility in soil. A key feature of the symbiosis is the ‘arbuscule’, a fungal organ that penetrates root cortical cells and forms a convoluted peri-arbuscular membrane of large surface...
