Description for Diversity and Biotechnology of Ectomycorrhizae
Hardback. The enormous multitude of ectomycorrhizal fungi plays a range of functional roles during symbioses with higher plants. This book covers the required molecular approaches for their identification and differentiation, and summarizes our current knowledge. Editor(s): Rai, Mahendra; Varma, Ajit. Series: Soil Biology. Num Pages: 475 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBGB; TV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 30. Weight in Grams: 958.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi play multifunctional roles during symbioses with higher plants. They can serve as bioprotectors, biofertilizers, bioremediators and stress indicators. Further, they are the true “mycoindicators” of forest ecosystems, where an enormous diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi can be found. Some ectomycorrhizal fungi also produce edible sporocarps, i.e., fruiting bodies, which are important for the food industry. Ectomycorrhizal fungi also produce various metal chelating molecules, which are of remarkable biotechnological significance and which also secrete useful secondary metabolites. Molecular approaches are required for the identification and differentiation of fungi forming symbioses with higher plants, while molecular tools are important to understand ... Read more
