Soil fungi strongly influence ecosystem structure and functioning, playing a key role in many ecological services as decomposers, plant mutualists and pathogens. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish mutualistic symbiotic associations with plant roots and act as biofertilizers by enhancing plant nutrients and water uptake. Information about the AMF association with L.

- Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a vital role in supporting land plants by enhancing nutrition, water supply, and resistance to pathogens.
- Understanding the presence and distribution of AMF is crucial for ecological and economic reasons, necessitating standardized research protocols.
- This chapter outlines a workflow for identifying AMF using high-throughput sequencing techniques on two specific DNA regions (SSU and ITS) for both soil and root communities.
