Abstract: Mycorrhizal fungi are a heterogeneous group of diverse fungal taxa, associated with the roots of over 90% of all plant species. Recently, state-of-the-art molecular and genetic tools, coupled to high-throughput sequencing and advanced microscopy, have led to the genome and transcriptome analysis of several symbionts. Signalling pathways between plants and fungi have now been described and the identification of several novel nutrient transporters has revealed some of the cellular processes that underlie symbiosis. Thus, the contributions of each partner in a mycorrhizal association are starting to be unravelled. This new knowledge is now available for use in agricultural practices.

Mycorrhizal ecology and evolution: the past, the present, and the future
Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Francis Martin,Marc-André Selosse,Ian R. Sanders +4 more
TL;DR: Large-scale molecular surveys have provided novel insights into the diversity, spatial and temporal dynamics of mycorrhizal fungal communities, and network theory makes it possible to analyze interactions between plant-fungal partners as complex underground multi-species networks.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, unlike many other mutualisms, the symbiont cannot be “enslaved,” and the mutualism is evolutionarily stable because control is bidirectional, and partners offering the best rate of exchange are rewarded.

Biofertilizers function as key player in sustainable agriculture by improving soil fertility, plant tolerance and crop productivity
TL;DR: The present review highlighted biofertilizers mediated crops functional traits such as plant growth and productivity, nutrient profile, plant defense and protection with special emphasis to its function to trigger various growth- and defense-related genes in signaling network of cellular pathways to cause cellular response and thereby crop improvement.
