Effect of Differences Among Crop Species and Cultivars on the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Physiology and Function

Abstract

The persistence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, is maintained in crop plants after, in many cases, decades of breeding new varieties with no consideration for the symbiosis presence or role. Differences in the responsiveness and dependence of diverse genotypes of legumes, cereals and tree crops to the symbiosis have been found, however no clear pattern for the variation has been shown. Facultative mycotrophs might have been selected in crop species because they would have a competitive advantage, being able to uptake phosphorus as efficiently whatever the mycorrhizal status of the field was. The use of field trials might have preserved the symbiotic capacity in the varieties obtained up till now. Plant–host metabolic and genomic findings should be taken into consideration in the new breeding technologies to work towards a holistic approach to breeding crop cultivars that makes full use of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.
