Abstract:
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known as symbiotic fungi with the effect
of promoting host plant growth mainly by enhancing phosphorus uptake through
symbiosis. AMF is considered to develop a sustainable ecofriendly strategy to overcome
biotic and abiotic stresses in plant production as well as safe agricultural production. As for
environmental stress management of biotic and abiotic stresses via AMF, few reports have
been demonstrated and the mechanisms still have many unclear points. In this lecture, the
events on plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses through AMF symbiosis and the
mechanisms in mycorrhizal horticultural plants are introduced.
