Summary Introduction

To discuss: Mutualistic interactions of plants with bacteria, fungi, and animals to improve plant nutrition.

Concept introduction: Mutualism means two organisms of different species living together to benefit each other. This phenomenon is widespread and it is ecologically very important for the functioning of the natural ecosystem. Plants undergo these close interactions with bacteria, fungi, and animals, which are often long-term end and beneficial for both the organisms.
