AM fungi are ecologically important root symbionts of
most terrestrial plants, and their benefits are being
increasingly acknowledged. This study provides information
on the status of AMF colonization and diversity in the
three Solanum species. Many plant species are in high
demand for their medicinal properties and various other
purposes. Therefore, recognition of mycorrhizal status and
selection of appropriate microbial strains to inoculate
medicinal plants could be of particular value to improve
the quality and quantity of plant material.
