The po.ssible role of a chelate reductase for iron uptake from microbial siderophores has been examined for several plant species (30,47). With certain microbial siderophores such as rhizoferrin and rhodotorulic acid, the reductase may easily cleave iron from the siderophore to allow subsequent uptake by the ferrous iron transporter. However, with the hydroxamate siderophore, ferrioxamine B, which is produced by actinomycetes and u.sed by diverse bacteria and fungi, it has been shown that the iron stress-regulated reductase is not capable... 

Despite their impressive genetic diversity, all mycorrhizal fungi complete their life cycle in close association with the roots through the establishment of a symbiosis ensuring a continuous flow of nutrients. They are divided into two main categories (Table 1) endomycorrhizae (arbuscular, ericoid, and orchid mycorrhi-zae) and ectomycorrhizae.
