Serological Properties of Mycorrhizas

  • Chapter
Mycorrhiza

Abstract

Interest in mycorrhizas has grown steadily over the last few years. To thoroughly understand and exploit these complex systems, more information is required at the cellular level. Antibodies, the main tool of serological techniques, are used to characterize extra- and intracellular surfaces and to quantify cellular constituents. For instance, detailed information on surface properties is needed in any cytological approach to the investigation of the host-symbiont “dialogue” and in taxonomic studies. Especially in the field of the arbuscular endomycorrhizas, great differences in ecological behavior and physiological effects occur among isolates which are morphologically similar but which may be distinguished by their serological properties. Finally, field studies require information on the identity and quantity of mycorrhizal fungi in order to understand competition and displacement.
