Mycorrhizal Symbiosis is recognized as the definitive work in this area. Since the last edition was published there have been major advances in the field, particularly in the area of molecular biology, and the new edition has been fully revised and updated to incorporate these exciting new developments.Over 50% new material Includes expanded color plate section Covers all aspects of mycorrhizMycorrhizasSymbiosisMycorrhizas.Symbiosis.579.51785589.20452482579.51785Smith S.
