Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) is the most common mycorrhizal type involved
in agricultural systems, and the most widespread plant root symbiosis.
The fungi involved (Glomales) are known to promote plant growth and
health by acting as biofertilizers, bioprotectors and bioregulators. The
main aim of this book is to provide readers with theoretical and applied
knowledge essential for the use of AM fungi in improving plant health
and fitness, production of high quality food and in conservation of
natural resources. The different chapters target understanding the role
of AM fungi in sustainable crop production, discussing ways to improve
biological equilibria between microorganisms in the mycorrhizosphere,
analysing genetic, physiological, cellular and molecular bases of AM
functioning and establishing technologies for inoculum production,
according to the regulatory guidelines for application.
