Abstract: In this paper,a pot experiment with three compartments was installed to study the effect of Na-phytate on the development and metabolic activity of AM fungi.Maize was selected as host plant and inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices),and different amounts of Na-phytate were applied into hyphal compartments.The results showed that the absorbed P in the shoots and roots of maize inoculated with AM fungi was 1~2 times higher than that of non inoculated maize.The ALP activity in intraradical hyphae of AM fungi was significantly decreased,and the total hyphal density of AM fungi increased with applied Na-phytate.Observations suggested that the ALP activity in intraradical hyphae of AM fungi and the development of its extraradical hyphae could be regulated by Na-phytate.Additionally,AM fungi could enhance the plant's P absorption and utilization from native soil P and additive Na-phytate.

Key words: AM fungus, Na-phytate, ALP, Extraradical hyphae
