This monograph/book focused on the examination and characterisation of Pinus roxburghii ECM present in the root samples, and the use of the imported soil and seed to conduct a bioassay pot experiment in the glasshouse compared to two other species. The inherent differences between the species with hyperplasic growth of P. roxburghii seedlings (greatest dry weight) and hypertrophic growth of P. radiate (taller) are suggested for the identification and manipulation of the genes involved in these growth characteristics. By using this beneficial ectomycorrhizal technology, we will not only be...
