Abstract

In this chapter I discuss about the history of AMF. So, to explain the evolutionary history of AMF and the several proposed AMF classifications between 1800 and the present day, I divided this long period in six phases. Phase I (1800–1900)—Characterized for the first AMF taxonomy classification, and the first description of genus Glomus, Rhizophagus and Sclerocystis. Phase II (1901–1975)—this phase was characterized for two important events: Genus Geosiphon was proposed, and important keys to identify Endogonaceae species were proposed. Phase III (1976–1990)—This phase was characterized: the standardized terminology about concepts of spore wall characteristics and murographs, and the new classification proposed by Morton and Benny in 1990. Phase IV (1991–2000)—In this phase, the first PCR primer (VANS1) to perform molecular analysis was developed. Phase V (2001–2010)—The most important event of this phase was the study done Schüßler and co-workers in 2001, where they proposed a new monophyletic phylum for AMF. They transferred all AMF species from Zygomycota to Glomeromycota, and their study was base for other studies until 2009. Phase VI (2011–present day)—This phase is characterized by two important works: (1) the new phylogenetic data for systematics and phylotaxonomy of AMF proposed by Krüger and co-workers in 2012, and the new classification of Glomeromycota proposed by Redecker and co-workers in 2013.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The Endogonaceae classification proposed by Hall and Fish (1979) included several new taxa described by Ames and Linderman (1976), Ames and Schneider (1979), Becker and Hall (1976), Becker and Gerdemann (1977), Daniels and Trappe (1979), Gerdemann and Bakshi (1976), Hall (1977), Hayman (1978), Nicolson and Schenck (1979), Redhead (1977), Rose et al. (1979), Sward et al. (1978), Tandy (1975) and Trappe (1977).
