Abstract
Within the last decade, a great deal of attention has been devoted to the role of chitinases and beta-1,3-glucanases in plant/microbe intera ctions. While there is strong evidence that these hydrolases are antif ungal proteins, there are also recent indications of roles in both pla nt morphogenesis and plant/microbe signal perception. This paper revie ws recent findings pertinent to root/microbe interactions, and discuss es the nature and significance of specific hydrolase isoforms in symbi oses with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.
