In nature, the roots of most plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza, which play a critical role in the capture of nutrients from the soil, and therefore in plant nutrition. Thirteen years have passed since the publication of the First Edition of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis, the book that has been generally acclaimed as the most definitive work on this fascinating topic. The Second Edition co-authored by Professor Sally Smith and Professor David Read has been completely rewritten to cover the significant advances in our understanding of this field.Key Features* Separate accounts of major mycorrhizal types, highlighting structure, development, physiology and ecology* Integrative treatment, covering nutrient transport, roles of mycorrhizas in ecology, applications in man-made environments, and interactions with pollutants* In depth treatment of evolutionary and developmental aspects, plus closer examination of external mycelium, and transport processes* Appreciation of diversity of form and function within major mycorrhizal types, and its importance in ecosystems

The E-SEED is that strand of an entrepreneurial idea imbedded deep in the genetic DNA of select individuals. After years of studying the make-up of individuals that carry the E-SEED DNA, the Business Doctor Team identified a unique and possibly fatal set of mutated genes. This set of genes can cause errant behavior in the business and the entrepreneur that can eventually result in a collection of illnesses that can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. The E-SEED Business Checkup will help you recognize common business illnesses and begin to formulate a treatment plan.
