Tripartite Association Among Plant, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Bacteria

摘要: Most plant roots are colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and their presence, generally, stimulates growth. In addition, AM can interact with different bacterial species establishing a tripartite association represent vital component in the ecosystem. These interactions may range from loose to endosymbiotic association. context of fungi, interaction host is long been studied, however, information little on mechanisms controlling bacteria mycorrhizosphere. Understanding between essential for describing soil-plant interface. Although there several studies concerning bacteria, underlying behind these associations general not very well understood, functional properties still require experimental confirmation. Modern tools molecular biology genome sequencing have solved questions about identity role associated fungi. this chapter, aspects among plant, discussed greater emphasis component.
