This paper reviews the production of auxins (i.e., cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid and ethylene) by ectomycorrhizal and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The effects of indole compounds on mycorrhizal symbiosis and the different methods of auxin production are discussed. The production of auxins by mycorrhizal fungi may be affected by the nutritional status of medium on which these fungi are grown. Specifically, the effects of nitrogen, B-vitamins, organic acids, glucose and pH, are discussed. |
