Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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. This title covers various aspects of mycorrhiza. It presents fresh taxonomy. It discusses the impact of proteomics and genomics on research in this area.

Rezensionen

Reviews of the First Edtion:

"Lucid writing, together with obvious enthusiasm for the subject, make this book pleasurable and stimulating to read. There is no doubt that it will indeed be essential reading for the increasing number of people studying mycorrhizals in many parts of the world." --Society of General Microbiology Quarterly
