Definition
AM fungi are obligate plant symbionts that form the phylum Glomeromycota. These fungi contribute to plant nutrient uptake, influence soil biotic and abiotic environments, and provide important ecosystem services. 454-pyrosequencing of amplicons from metagenomic DNA revealed the distribution of AM fungi in major Canadian Chernozem great groups as influenced by land use and crop management. |
