Mycorrhizae

  • Chapter
Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 24-26))

Abstract

Forest trees are obligately dependent upon mycorrhizal symbiosis for normal growth and development. Because the benefits derived from different species and isolates of mycorrhizal fungi vary for a given tree or site, manipulation of these fungi should improve the uniformity and yield of artificially regenerated forests. Experimental inoculation of hardwood and conifer seedlings with specific fungi in nurseries and greenhouses has dramatically improved survival and growth following outplanting on routine and adverse reforestation sites in the U.S. and abroad. The development of mycorrhizal inoculation procedures offers a biotechnological opportunity for foresters to increase the yield and quality of forest stands.
