Systematic review on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their ecological importance

The taxonomic classification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is still under discussion, however, thanks to the progress of molecular tools, the criteria for grouping have diversified. Therefore, the objective of the present research was to review the state of art in relation to these organisms, being the informative documentary review the main research technique used to identify the works related to the subject, as well as to relate the different researches found. First, a review of fungal diversity was carried out and then some novelties in relation to their taxonomic classification at world level were discussed, as well as the advances that have been made in our country. Finally, we concluded by highlighting the importance of these organisms in nutrition, growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress of the plants associated to them, as well as their influence on the formation of soil aggregates.
