Mycorrhiza in Control of Plant Pathogens : Molecular Approaches

  • Chapter
Biotechnological Approaches in Biocontrol of Plant Pathogens

Abstract

A wide diversity of fungi form several morphological types of mycorrhizal associations. The present review is giving more emphasis on ecto and endomycorrhizae (Bhandari and Mukerji, 1993; Mukerji and Mandeep, 1997; Mukerji and Sharma, 1996). Researches on the biological control of plant pathogens has received much attention in recent years as a means of increasing crop production by avoiding a number of problems related to use of agrochemicals (e.g. environmental pollution, increasing pathogen resistance) and hence developing practices compatible with sustainable agriculture (Barea et al., 1996; Cook and Baker, 1983; Hooker et al., 1994; Linderman, 1994; Mukerji and Garg, 1988 a, b; Trotta et al., 1996).
