A critical review on the nutrition role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Journal Title: Extreme Life, Biospeology & Astrobiology - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Even though many factors influence the accession of mineral nutrients required for plant growth, arbuscular mycorrhizal-roots can greatly enhance the accession of mineral nutrients in host plants. The nutrients enhanced most by AM are those that are of low mobility or sparingly soluble. With other factors being equal in specific environments, AM may be the difference between whether plants will survive and/or have the ability to obtain the required mineral nutrients for sustainability. Although the most commonly reported mineral nutrient enhanced in host plants with AM-roots is P, accession of manyother mineral nutrients (e.g., Zn, Cu, N, S, Ca, Mg, K) may be enhanced in plants by AM. Several reviews about accession of mineral nutrients in AM plants have been published fairly recently. Some of the concepts mentioned with P accession may be applicable to the other mineral nutrients. This review gives an overview on the role of mycorrhizae in nutrition.
