In this symbiotic association, the portions of the roots that accommodate the fungi are referred to as mycorrhizae, a term derived from fungus roots. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, previously known as endomycorrhizal fungi, establish a mutually beneficial mycorrhizal relationship with a wide range of essential crop species [30]
For instance, vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and the essential trace mineral selenium are necessary for the recycling [the enzyme glutathione reductase is considered a flavoenzyme (i.e., it needs a coenzyme form of riboflavin, flavin adenine dinucleotide to operate)] of and use [the enzyme glutathione peroxidase is a selenoprotein (i.e., it needs a its cofactor selenium to operate)] of glutathione, respectively
