Dialogue between fungi and plants in the root and soil
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Fungi are organisms present in all terrestrial ecosystems and play diverse ecological roles in the
niches they inhabit. Soil is a matrix of intense signal exchange, which fungi have taken advantage
of to establish all kinds of interactions. Their relationships with plant roots are determined by
communication processes established between both organisms at the cellular and tissue
level. Although the concept of intelligence in non-animal organisms is still a controversial
issue, there is scientific evidence that points to at least a basal level of intelligence to guide
these communication and response processes. In this context, the most recent knowledge on
rhizospheric, mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi is described; where their effects on plant growth
regulation, nutrition and carbon and water exchange, induction or suppression of systemic
resistance, cell colonization and production of secondary metabolites, either in symbiotic or
pathogenic relationships, are highlighted. Despite new advances, there are great opportunities
for basic and applied research to exploit this molecular dialogue. The aim of this review was to
present some of the phenomena described in fungal-plant interactions in soil and to show their
relevance from the perspective of “intelligent communication”.
