What is Vesicular-arbuscular Mycorrhizas in Agriculture and Horticulture about?
In nature, the roots of most plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza, which play a critical role in the capture of nutrients from the soil, and therefore in plant nutrition. Thirteen years have passed since the publication of the First Edition of <b>Mycorrhizal Symbiosis</b>, the book that has been generally acclaimed as the most definitive work on this fascinating topic. The Second Edition co-authored by Professor Sally Smith and Professor David Read has been completely rewritten to cover the significant advances in our understanding of this field.<br><br>Key Features<br>* Separate accounts of major mycorrhizal types, highlighting structure, development, physiology and ecology<br>* Integrative treatment, covering nutrient transport, roles of mycorrhizas in ecology, applications in man-made environments, and interactions with pollutants<br>* In depth treatment of evolutionary and developmental aspects, plus closer examination of external mycelium, and transport processes<br>* Appreciation of diversity of form and function within major mycorrhizal types, and its importance in ecosystems
