Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) constitutes a heterogeneous group of fungal species. It forms mutualistic interaction with the roots of more than 90% of all plant species. AMF can improve the growth, nutrition, water supply and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses of host plants. These fungi are recommended as biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture and act as biocontrol agents. They protect plants from pathogens and their colonization increases pathogen resistance. The present article highlights the key role of the AM symbiosis and an antibacterial potential of AMF based on available research. The authors aim to explore the antibacterial studies with dominant AMF species from Melghat region associated with some medicinal plants.
