Recent years have introduced an upsurge of curiosity within the examine of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, in part as a result of attention that the powerful usage of those symbiotic soil fungi is perhaps crucial in sustainable agriculture. outstanding development has been made over the last decade within the research of this symbiosis principally because of expanding exploitation of molecular instruments. even supposing early emphasis used to be put on using molecular instruments to check physiological tactics brought on via the symbiosis, akin to expression of symbiosis-specific polypeptides and modulation of host defences, different functions anticipate. It used to be visible to us that accumulating leaders within the box to summarize those subject matters and indicate examine wishes was once important if we have been to appreciate the body structure and serve as of AM fungi at a molecular point. additionally, we've got taken the chance to give those reports in a logical series of themes starting from the initiation of the lifestyles cycle of the fungus to its services in plant progress and within the lower than floor environment. It used to be a problem to restrict this flood of data to the confines of 1 textual content. it is a very fascinating time for mycorrhiza biologists and it really is our desire that a few of this pleasure is conveyed to our readers.
