Abstract: Due to occasionally changing natural environment,plants are always threatened by drought, waterlogging ,high or low temperature,acidity,saline-alkali and so on.Therefore,the physiological,biochemical and ecological studies on plants under environmental stress have become a hot field.Much research indicates that AM can improve the ability of plants to resist environmental stress.This article briefly reviewed the recent studies about the effects of AM on resistance of plants to environmental stress,especially to drought,saline and acidity,and the possible physiological and biochemical mechanisms are discussed as well.

Key words: phthalic acid esters (PAEs), plasticizers, soil, peanut, pollution.
