Overview
This book provides a structured compilation of reviews of what is known about arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. Topics were selected to cover major steps in the life cycle of AM fungi (germination, signaling/recognition prior to colonization, and host regulation of colonization). Aspects of the physiological interaction within the root for which there has been exciting recent progress (regulation of host defenses, bidirectional transport of nutrients, modification of gene expression, and carbon metabolism) are then discussed. The focus then widens to effects of the mycorrhiza upon the whole plant (nutrition, water relations, reproduction, and resistance to disease), and expands further to essential aspects of the role of AM fungi in soil ecology (soil aggregation, and interactions with other soil microbes). Leaders in the field present critical reviews and point toward areas for future research. Therefore, this volume should be helpful for both researchers in the field and those interested in a thorough knowledge of this important symbiosis.

Reviews
`The book is well-produced with very few typographical and referencing errors. We commend this book to any pathologists wishing to learn more about the current state of knowledge of these organisms.' Plant Pathology, 50(2001) `I will finish by recommending this book to anyone with a research team working on AMF. It will save much wasted and costly time in repeating already undertaken research and concentrate efforts on more innovative experimentation.' Geoderma,104(2001) `The outward appearance of the book is good and it has a nice feel. The book will be useful in illustrating the statej of the art at the time of going to press and as a reference work and should be available in libraries for researchers and students alike.' Soil Biology & Biochemistry, Vol.33 (2001)
