AMF, Cerrado, Glomeromycota, scientometricsResumen
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophic fungi from the Glomeromycota phylum, closely related to plant biomass. However, little is known about these fungi since they live below ground, especially in threatened and important areas like the Cerrado. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the trends and gaps in the scientific production of Glomeromycota in the Cerrado, to show an overview of scientific production over the last ten years, showing trends and gaps in research on AMF in the Cerrado. We used a Boolean search for articles in the Web of Science database with specific terms to do this. We obtained 63 articles which showed us that there is a trend towards an increase in the number of publications on AMF, however, most of the studies are focused on an ecological, taxonomic, and agricultural approach to the fungus, leaving a large gap in biotechnological knowledge and the use of these fungi. We hope that these data will help with research into AMF and boost knowledge about the Glomeromycota phylum in the Cerrado.
