Abstract: In recent years, Chinese scientists have made remarkable achievements in on mycorrhizal molecular biology, nutrition, taxonomy, and ecology, with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) having been mostly studied. AMF can form symbiotic relationship with roots of most terrestrial plants, promote plant growth and development, improve plant stress resistance, maintain ecological balance, and protect ecological environment. This review mainly introduced the ecological function and mechanism of AMF in plant rhizosphere stress from the aspects of abiotic (drought stress, heavy metal pollution, saline-alkali stress) and biotic stresses (pathogenic bacteria and nematode infection). We proposed the remaining deficiencies and research prospects in this field to provide refe-rence for future research of AMF.

Key words: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, rhizosphere stress, ecology, biotic stress, abiotic stress
