Abstract
Graziella Berta, a well-known mycorrhiza researcher, passed away in her home in Torino (Italy) on March 2nd, 2024, at the age of 75. We were both fortunate to know Graziella personally and to greatly appreciate her professionally, by working closely with her in the same research group in Alessandria (GL) or through many collaborative projects over the years (VGP). Here, we recall some of the milestones in her research and particularly the important contribution she has made to knowledge about plant interactions with mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial rhizosphere bacteria.
期刊介绍:
Mycorrhiza is an international journal devoted to research into mycorrhizas - the widest symbioses in nature, involving plants and a range of soil fungi world-wide. The scope of Mycorrhiza covers all aspects of research into mycorrhizas, including molecular biology of the plants and fungi, fungal systematics, development and structure of mycorrhizas, and effects on plant physiology, productivity, reproduction and disease resistance. The scope also includes interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and other soil organisms and effects of mycorrhizas on plant biodiversity and ecosystem structure.
Mycorrhiza contains original papers, short notes and review articles, along with commentaries and news items. It forms a platform for new concepts and discussions, and is a basis for a truly international forum of mycorrhizologists from all over the world.
