Abstract: Origin and evolution of the VA mycorrhizal symbiosis were discussed in the article. It was considered that VA mycorrhizal symbiosis was a biological character with ancient origin based on VA mycorrhizal fossil materials, VA mycorrhizal states of angiosperms and pteridophytes and the researches of molecular biology on VA mycorrhizal fungi. VA mycorrhizal symbiosis played very important role in origin and evolution of the land plants. A lot of research work need to be done on evolution of VA mycorrhizal symbiosis, co-evolution and specialization of the VA mycorrhizal fungi and host plants.

Key words: ecological security, toxicity reduction evaluation, industrial wastewater, wastewater reuse.
