Symbiosis of Plants with Mycorrhizal and Endophytic Fungi.

These fungi can grow in biotrophic, saprophytic and even parasitic ways and often overlap functionally and ecologically with other soil fungi, such as saprotrophs, facultative or obligate pathogens. Starting from the premise that the success of the response of plants to AM inoculation depends on the plant-fungus combination, Säle et al. [[19]] with AM were negative or neutral on their growth. Thus, in the roots of vascular plants, there are a great variety of fungi (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, dark septate endophytes fungi (DSE) and other endophytes) establishing different types of relationships. Following this concept of the positive effects of AM fungi on plant growth and nutritional status, Duell et al. [[18]] evaluated the potential benefits and negative consequences of six commercial AM fungi inoculants on native and invasive plants. [Extracted from the article]
