Abstract: Mycorrhizal diversity, including morphological, species and functional diversity, is an integrative component of biodiversities.Many experiments showed that mycorrhizal diversity played an important role in the origin, evolution, distribution, survival, growth and development of plants.But, mycorrhizal diversity is dependent on plant diversity.It was suggested that mycorrhizal and plant diversities stimulated or retarded each other.The significance of mycorrhizal diversity in plant diversity was also discussed.
