Abstracts |
This review on the association between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and horticultural crops as hosts covers the following: life cycle of the AMF (biology of the pre-symbiotic and symbiotic stages of the AMF-host association), chemical analysis of the pre-symbiotic stage of the AMF-host interaction (plant root exudates and strigolactones), molecular analyses of the pre-symbiotic phase of the AMF-host interaction (fungal and plant gene expression), and application of AMF in horticultural crops (potential of inoculation practices and study cases for AMF application). |
