© WikipediaThis thematic series has published in Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture.

Guest Editor: Prof Vincenza Cozzolino






In this collection, we have collated research in the following areas of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi:

  • Effects of mycorrhiza in combination with other microbial bioeffectors
  • Metabolomics of plants treated with mycorrhiza
  • Potential of mycorrhiza in reducing plant stresses
  • Below-ground plant exudation stimulated by mycorrhiza
  • Mycorrhiza and soil carbon sequestration
