Abstract

Mycorrhizal symbiosis has received special attention due to its benefits for terrestrial plants and soil sustainability. Here, we focus on the most important aspects of plant interaction with ectomycorrhiza and endomycorrhiza. Mycorrhizal fungi establish symbiotic association with plants through recognition systems discriminating friend and foes. These fungi are able to interconnect plants via developing their common mycelial network. These associations are multifunctional for translocation of nutrients and signaling compounds which affects the composition and fitness of both mycorrhiza and plant community. We discussed several theories describing the fluctuation of symbiosis under stress and normal conditions. Mycorrhizal fungi have great potential in regulating of relationships in ecosystem and application of these fungi can restore the disturbance imposed by human activities both in forests and agriculture. We also pointed several unexplored areas, where new technologies can experimentally expose their complexity.
