Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are one of the most important endophytic fungi in plants that form arbuscular mycorrhizas with roots. Arbuscular mycorrhizas can absorb mineral nutrients for plant partners through forming extensive networks of AMF hyphae in the soil in exchange of photosynthetically fixed carbon and lipids As a result, mycorrhizas promote plant growth under various abiotic and biotic stress conditions (Gsto and Domagaa-witkiewicz 2015
