      Different types of mycorrhizal symbiosis in nature: Ectomycorrhizae, Monotropoid mycorrhizae, Arbutoid mycorrhizae, Ericoid mycorrhizae, Orchidaceous mycorrhizae, and Arbuscular mycorrhizae. (Modified image from Selosse & Le Tacon[11])

    • Figure 2. 

      A pictorial representation of a few of the benefits provided by AMF in plant growth and yield. Increased resistance to foliar pathogens, increased drought tolerance, increased salt tolerance, enhanced defense mechanism, help in uptake of essential nutrients and bioremediation are a few of the many benefits that AMF provide in the growth and development of a plant.

      Fig. 4- Graphical representation of AMF infection in the root. AMF colonisation is characterised by the formation of arbuscules, vesicles, hyphae and spores.
