Tóm tắt

There is a large body of literature concerning the value of mycorrhiza to plant growth. Recent emphasis on the potential benefits of the fungi to natural ecosystems conservation and productive agriculture has focused attention on the roles and underlying mechanisms of the association. In parallel, recognition that isolates/ species of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have variable life-history traits has resulted in investigations focused on the symbiotic fungi rather than the host, a perspective which may reflect the fungal evolutionary strategies. This paper discusses progress in understanding interactions amongst hyphae, which in one form or another are a major component of mycorrhiza and each phase of the life-history.
