Foreword
Mycorrhizal symbioses, found in almost all ecosystems, are fundamental to
improveplantfitnessandsoilqualitythroughkeyecologicalprocesses.Mycorrhi-
zalfungihavebeenshowntofulfilabroadspectrumofbeneficialfunctionsfortheir
host plants as well as for their environments like improved nutrient and water
uptake, enhanced tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses and improved soil
structure to counteract soil erosion. In the last decade, it has been observed that
intensive agricultural practices like the useof large amounts of mineral fertilizers
and pesticides can have severe effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and other
fungalsymbiontsinsoilsand,consequently,cannegativelyimpactplantnutrition
andgrowth.Infact, thelossoffungaldiversitydisruptsmajorecosystemservices

sityand,therefore,leadtolanddegradation.
Thebook“Mycorrhiza:NutrientUptake,Biocontrol,Ecorestoration”comesout
in a period of time of exceptionally rapid growth in research on the role that
mycorrhizal symbiosis has in plants to overcome biotic and abiotic stress and
gives an excellent overview of the current knowledge in this field. It covers

different studies on plant nutrition by fungal strategies in nutrient-limiting envi-
ronmentsandforsustainableagriculture.Severalchaptersdescribemechanismsof
mycorrhizal fungi to control different plant pathogens and increase plant health.
Most chapters explain how mycorrhizal fungi inoculation has grown to be a
biotechnologicaltoolthatiswidelyapplicableinecologicalrestorationofdegraded
lands, in alleviating drought and heavy metal tolerances and in phytoremediation
processes. The book is mainly focused on arbuscular mycorrhiza but also other
types of interactions including those formed by orchid mycorrhizal fungi and
endophytes and, to a lesser extent, by ectomycorrhizal fungi. I therefore congrat-

GermanpathologistA.B.Frank(1885)coinedthetermMycorrhizawhichliterally
meansfungusroots.Thesefungisupporttheproductivityofplantsviatheformation
ofdynamicassociationswithnutrientuptakeviaplantroots.Mycorrhizaisconsid-
ered a fundamental part of the root colonization and stabilization of plants on
terrestrial habitats. The symbiotic associations formed are an important subject to
assessnumerousopportunitiesusingmoderntoolsofmicrobialbiotechnology.The
possibilitiesofgeneticallymanipulatingtheseassociationshaveledtotheoptimi-
zation of plant productivity in ecosystems with minimal risk of environmental
damage.
The fourth edition of the mycorrhiza book gives exemplary insight into the
advancements in mycorrhizal studies. This edition extensively illuminates the
nutrient uptake, biocontrol and eco-restoration of mycorrhizal association. The
ability of mycorrhiza to provide resistance against various abiotic and biotic
stresseshas been exploredinthisedition.Themycorrhizalassociationis thestate
ofthelargemajorityofplantsundermostecologicalconditions,andthesesymbi-
oses are a strategic factor in ecosystem functioning. In established mycorrhizal
associations, bidirectional exchange of nutrients and other benefits that occur
requiretheformationofsymbioticinterfacesresultingfrommorpho-physiological
alterations in both plants and fungal tissues. Ecological disturbance, whether by
natural or human activity, also influences the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi, and
ecologicalresilienceofthesesymbiontsisessentialforsustainingproductivity.In
conclusion, the efficient management of mycorrhizal systems has the potential to
favour the sustainable production of quality foods while ensuring environmental
qualityforfuturegenerations.
