Interactions of nematodes with mycorrhizae and mycorrhizal fungi

  • Chapter
Nematode Interactions

Abstract

Plant-parasitic nematodes often encounter roots that have been transformed structurally and physiologically by mycorrhizal fungi. These symbiotic associations of fungi with higher plants are broadly termed mycorrhizae (or mycorrhizas, sing., mycorrhiza; the literal translation is ‘fungus root’). The fungal partner obtains carbon compounds from the plant and the plant partner effectively extends its root volume, thereby improving its access to possibly scarce inorganic soil nutrients, especially phosphorus, and soil moisture. The interaction of nematodes and these beneficial symbionts is unlike those between parasitic nematodes and pathogenic organisms that are described in other chapters of this book.
