Host — fungus interactions in ectomycorrhizae

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

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

Abstract

Ectomycorrhizae are symbiotic associations between fungi, primarily members of the Basidiomycotina and a few Ascomycotina, and roots of most important forest species in temperate regions and a few forest species in tropical ecosystems (Malloch et al., 1980). The conservative estimate of 5000 mycobiont species involved in ectomycorrhizal associations (Malloch et al., 1980) will no doubt be altered as research into this important symbiotic association is extended, particularly into tropical regions. If one considers that strains of a particular fungal species may differ in the way they interact with a host species (Kropp et al., 1987) and the number of hybrids and cultivars of host species in existence, then the number of possible ectomycorrhizal types is enormous.
