Mycorrhizal Mediated Micronutrients Transportation in Food Based Plants: A Biofortification Strategy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mycorrhizosphere and Pedogenesis

Abstract

Food based crops with enhanced micronutrients concentrations are required globally for eradicating hidden hunger. Mycorrhizal fungi have mutualistic association with roots of plant and commence enhance uptake of macro and as well micro nutrients for plants vitality. Micronutrients deficiencies cause a number of ailments in humans due the malnutrition of important micro elements such as zinc, iron, selenium, etc. Mycorrhizal fungal partner is efficient for depicting several traits for nutrient acquisition such as enhanced mycelia growth for exploring nutrients in soils, production of organic acids and metals chelating compounds (particularly siderophores), and hence provide host plants with elevated levels of essential micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn) in edible portion of plants such as grains and fruits. In the present chapter, the main prominence is given to mycorrhizal fungi and their prominent role in nutrient transfer into host plants, and presenting view on application of mycorrhiza for crop biofortification.
