Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil fungi, obligate biotrophic fungi and form the most common mutualistic symbiosis in nature: the arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM). This association occurs on the roots of most plants, promoting improvements in plant growth and development and increasing tolerance and/or plant resistance to several adverse environmental agents. In addition, AMF can be a potential biological control agent of plant diseases. These fungi produce glomalin, a protein that plays a key role in soil stability and in the […]
