Abstracts |
This commentary describes developments in research on symbiotic plant-fungal (including vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizas) communities, and provides an introductory overview to a cluster of letters published in this issue of New Phytologist. Each letter focuses on one of three important areas within plant-fungal symbiosis: plant-fungal symbiotic coevolution [see New Phytologist (2010) 185, 874-878]; biogeography of these symbiotic partners [see New Phytologist (2010) 185, 878-882]; and phylogenetic community ecology of plants and their symbiotic partners [see New Phytologist (2010) 185, pp. 882-886]. |
