Development of molecular probes to distinguish vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Bibliography: leaves 71-79. Almost 80 percent of plant taxa develop vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) which are symbiotic associations between plant roots and soil fungi. The fungi are biotropic-obligate symbionts. Identification of VAM fungi is currently based on spore characteristics. Molecular techniques provide tools for better and more accurate identification of species, as well as for the examination of genetic variability occuring between individual spores of a single species.
