The Role of the Cell Wall as A Signal In Mycorrhizal Associations

  • Conference paper
Cell to Cell Signals in Plant, Animal and Microbial Symbiosis

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 17))

Abstract

The dynamic succession of a variety of cell interactions between two highly integrated eucaryotes — i.e. soil fungi and plant root cells — makes mycorrhizal symbioses extremely complex. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) offers some clues to the understanding of the numerous cell interactions leading to the mutualistic symbiotic state (Scannerini and Bonfante-Fasolo, 1983).
