Importance of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza in Plant Ecological Research

Abstract

Abstract: Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza is the symbiont of plant and Glomales fungus.This symbiont is a very popular biological phenomenon in the terrestrial ecosystem.Based on the popularity and the non specificity between the symbiotic partners,the potential determinant roles of VA mycorrhizal fungi in the occur rence,succession and the structure of plant community,and the mechanisms of VA mycorrhiza in the maintenance of plant biodiversity,the stability and the pro ductivity of the ecosystem were discussed in this paper.The functional roles of VA mycorrhiza in the plant biodiversity conservation was also discussed.

Key words: Sclerodermus sichuanensis Xiao, paralysis, bacteriostasis, melanization.
