Symbiosis, mutualismus, parasitismus, komensalismus, neutralismus, kompetition, fakultative and obligate symbionts. Mycorrhizal symbioses - vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza, ectomycorrhiza, ectendomycorrhiza, orchid, arbutoid, monotropoid and ericoid mycorrhiza. Occurence and taxonomic position of symbionts. Intraradical and extraradical structures. Ecophysiological functions of mycorrhizas. Effects on host metabolism - nutrient flows between symbionts. Relations to other soil microorganisms - bacteria, pathogenic soil-borne fungi. The effects on host growth and its competition ability. Plant achlorophylly. The role of mycorrhizas in life cycles of host plants. N2 fixators. Taxonomic position of the symbionts. Biochemical pathways of N2 fixation. The effect on plant growth and plant communities.
