Plant-Mycorrhizae and Endophytic Fungi Interactions: Broad Spectrum of Allelopathy Studies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Plants may compete with one another for resources and they could also release allelochemicals that inhibit or stimulate the development and survival of neighboring plants and microorganisms. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and fungal endophytes are part of the microbial community of almost every plant; the composition of a plant microbial community is thought to affect plant fitness and physiology as well as their interactions with other plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and endophytes could affect the interactions between invasive and native plants or crops; this may be due to modifications in soil microbial communities mediated by allelochemicals produced by those fungi and plants. This chapter discusses the possible allelopathic interactions between maize and Rottboellia cochinchinensis, as well as the possible interactions with their associated AMF. Other group of microorganisms considered here are endophytic fungi. This type of fungi produces allelochemicals with a great chemical diversity and biological activities. Interactions between plants and their associated microbial communities are mediated by allelochemicals; direct or indirect effects of these compounds on plants and microorganisms are considered within the spectrum of allelopathy.
