Effect of Mycorrhizal Fungi on their Hosts | Microbiology
In this article we will discuss about the effect of mycorrhizal fungi on their hosts. Similar to rhizosphere, mycorrhizosphere (the close vicinity of ectomycorrhizae) shows increased microbial community leading to mycorhizosphere effect. The photosynthates flow into soil through roots and mycorrhizae support a diverse community of soil microorganisms, many of which influence plant growth. The mycorrhizosphere microorganisms may be facultative [...]
