Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a type of symbiotic fungi that form mutually beneficial relationships with the roots of most plants. These fungi belong to the phylum Glomeromycota and are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems. The symbiotic association between AMF and plant roots is known as arbuscular mycorrhiza.
