Morphological Integration and Functional Compatibility Between Symbionts in Vesicular Arbuscular Endomycorrhizal 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

Mutualistic symbiotic associations between plant roots and soil fungi, mycorrhizae, commonly occur throughout the plant kingdom. Mycorrhizae can be divided into morphologically distinct groups whose structural and functional diversity is determined by the plant and fungal taxa Involved (see Harley and Smith, 1983; Gianinazzi-Pearson, 1984). It is, nevertheless, remarkable that the large majority of plant species form the same type of mycorrhizal association, vesicular-arbuscular (VA) endomycorrhizae (Harley and Harley, 1987) and this raises the question of whether compatibility systems have been specifically developed towards the fungi Involved. Investigations of symbiont interactions in this type of mycorrhizal association are hampered by the fact that the fungal associates, belonging to four genera in the Endogonales (Trappe, 1982), cannot be grown in pure culture so that, apart from a preliminary study on axenically infected clover (Pons, 1984), most Information comes from electron microscope observations made, on non-axenic associations.
