About this book

Several studies have demonstrated that mycorrhizal associations play vital role in plant nutrition. They greatly increase the efficiency of nutrient and water uptake, enhance resistance to pathogens and buffer plant species against several environmental stresses and drought resistance. Mycorrhizae also improve plant growth and survival in soils contaminated by heavy metals.

This book emphasizes the biotechnological application of mycorrhizae to promote the production of food while maintaining ecologically and economically sustainable production systems.

Contents

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza and Soil Microbes. Ectomycorrhizae and Forest Plants Fitness. Role of VAM in Nutrient Uptake of Crop Plants. Advances in Mass Production Technology of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza. Biomass Production, Arbuscular Mycorrhizae, and Soil Plant-Available P under Water Stress in Native Perennial Grasses. Induced Resistance in Plants and the Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi. Influence of VAM in Bioremediation of Environmental Pollutants. Rhizosphere Management Practices in Sustaining Mycorrhizae. Importance of Mycorrhizae for Horticultural Crops. Mycobization as a Biotechnological Tool: A Challenge. Phytoremediation: Biotechnological Procedures Involving Plants and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi.
