Abstracts |
This paper presents a review of the various studies focusing on the effects of elevated CO2 on mycorrhizal colonization of plant roots on the uptake of phosphorus and other elements in plants. Studies on the important roles of duration, intensity and quality of light in the colonization of roots by mycorrhizal fungi are also reviewed. Also covered are the effects of mycorrhiza on net carbon exchange rate and on photosynthesis, particularly in P-fertilized or stressed plants (e.g. beans and barley) and in water-stressed plants (e.g. cowpeas, lucerne and soyabeans). The effect of mycorrhiza on respiration in plants (e.g. Solanum nigrum, Allium porrum and Ceratopetalum apetalum) is also discussed. These studies were conducted from different countries including USA, Germany, UK, Canada, Switzerland, India, Australia, Pakistan, Czech Republic, Spain, Irish Republic, Mexico, Somalia, and Japan.. |
