Defense and Nutrient Mutualisms in Populus

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 8))

Abstract

The effects of symbionts on plant defense and nutrition are increasingly seen as significant but neglected factors in plant ecology. The roles of some endophytic and mycorrhizal fungi associated with Populus are beginning to be addressed with advanced tools of genetics and genomics. At the same time previously unknown Populus symbionts are still being discovered and described. In this chapter, defense and nutrient mutualists of Populus are reviewed in the context of the wider literature, and with an eye towards potential applications to poplar culture.
