Current Advances in Mycorrhizae Research presents findings in the study of ectomycorrhizas and arbuscular mycorrhizas, which together colonize the majority of terrestrial plants. These beneficial fungi help plants by increasing nutrient uptake, enhancing water relations, and improving resistance to pests. The application of molecular genetic, biochemical, and physiological analyses to these symbiotic fungi is covered in this book, making it a must-have selection for anyone interested in mycorrhizae research and its effects on plant health.

This comprehensive volume also covers:

signaling recognition processes prior to colonization
how the host's defense mechanisms are regulated to allow for fungal growth within the root
ultrastructural aspects of the functioning mycorrhiza
cellular and whole plant aspects of the flow of carbon from host to fungus
significant progress in genetic engineering of ectomycorrhizal fungi to make them more efficient biocontrol organisms
