Abstracts |
Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most ubiquitous interorganism relationships on the Earth, and particularly so in the
terrestrial environment. These relationships have major roles in the functioning of ecosystems, and are of large importance for humans via biodiversity maintenance, contribution to biogeochemical cycles, food and timber production, and other benefits. Thus, thorough understanding of the diversity of mycorrhizal interactions -diversity of interacting plants, fungi, and diversity of mycorrhizal types-and ultimately on mycorrhizal functioning is timely. |
