Mycorrhizae

  • Chapter
Epidemiology and Management of Root Diseases

Abstract

The formation of a mycorrhizal symbiosis is considered a widespread strategy of plants to obtain advantages under selection pressure in natural ecosystems. Most cultivated plant species can be infected by mycorrhizal fungi. Depending on the host plant and the infecting fungus, different mycorrhizae are formed: ectomycorrhizae, ericaceous, orchidaceous, and vesicular- arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM). The main importance for plant production within this group has to be attributed to ectomycorrhizae (forestry) and VAM (most agricultural and horticultural plants).
