Abstract

The evolutionary success of arbuscular mycorrhizas reflects the unique combination of a superior biotrophic mode of fungal carbon acquisition and the ability of the living plant to absorb nutrients, especially phosphorus, from the fungus. Improved plant growth in response to mycorrhization is closely linked to this bidirectional exchange of C and P between the symbionts, an exchange which is strongly influenced by plant and fungal genotypes and by the environment.
