水分胁迫和接种菌根真菌对青冈栎根系形态的影响

以石漠化地区造林树种青冈栎幼苗为试验材料,在盆栽条件下,分别用内生菌根真菌摩西球囊霉(Glomus mosseae,Gm)、根内球囊霉(Glomus intraradices,Gi)、外生菌根真菌彩色豆马勃(Pisolithus tinctorius,Pt)和3种菌根真菌混合菌剂进行接种,利用根系扫描仪Epson Perfection V700和根系分析软件WinRhizo,研究了正常水分、中度干旱和重度干旱条件下菌根真菌对青冈栎幼苗根系形态的影响。结果表明:在土壤干旱条件下,接种菌根真菌使青冈栎根系生物量、总根长、根表面积和根体积显著增加,使根平均直径减小;在土壤中度干旱胁迫下,Pt处理根表面积显著高于Gm和Gi处理,而根平均直径显著小于Gm和Gi;在重度干旱胁迫下,Pt处理根生物量和根体积显著小于Gm和Gi,根平均直径显著大于Gm和Gi;相关性分析表明,菌根侵染率与根生物量和总根长呈极显著正相关。本研究表明,在干旱条件下,菌根真菌可改变青冈栎幼苗根系形态,促进碳水化合物向根系积累和分配。

喀斯特土壤上香樟幼苗接种不同AM真菌后的耐旱性效应

为探索喀斯特土壤适生植物香樟幼苗在接种不同AM真菌后的耐旱适应性,进行了香樟幼苗接种幼套球囊霉(Glomus etunicatum)和层状球囊霉(Glomus lamellosum)后水分胁迫处理试验。结果表明：（1）接种AM真菌显著提高了香樟幼苗的生物量积累,AM促进植株生物量效应依次为中度>轻度>正常>重度,同一水分胁迫处理下生物量幼套球囊霉>层状球囊霉。（2）中度干旱下香樟幼苗菌根依赖性最大,幼套球囊霉接种植株的菌根依赖性较层状球囊霉大。（3）接种AM真菌显著提高了植株叶片可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸含量,并降低了丙二醛含量;在正常供水下植株叶片可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸含量层状球囊霉接种>幼套球囊霉接种>对照,干旱胁迫下表现为幼套球囊霉接种>层状球囊霉接种>对照;干旱胁迫下的幼套球囊霉接种植株丙二醛含量低于层状球囊霉接种植株。（4）总体上,可溶性糖与脯氨酸相关性极显著,可溶性蛋白质与丙二醛之间呈显著负相关性。幼套球囊霉接种香樟幼苗的耐旱性高于和层状球囊霉接种香樟幼苗。     

盐渍条件下AM真菌对大豆生长和离子含量的影响

盐渍条件下研究了丛枝菌根(AM)真菌对大豆Glycine max植株生长和叶片离子含量的影响。结果表明,接种摩西球囊霉Glomus mosseae处理的叶片K+含量和K/Na比显著高于对照,而Na+含量无显著差异。G.mosseae显著增加了大豆植株生长量,这一效应随盐处理浓度的提高而增大。表明盐渍条件下AM真菌提高大豆抗盐性与其增加K+吸收和运输有关。     

丛枝菌根真菌对黄瓜枯萎病的影响

盆栽条件下播种黄瓜Cucumis sativus同时接种丛枝菌根真菌Glomus etunicatum,4周后对接种处理和对照黄瓜苗分别浇灌Fusairum oxysporum f.sp.cucumerinum分生孢子悬液,2周后测定幼苗生物量、根内丙二醛、可溶性糖与游离脯氨酸含量及根围真菌和细菌数量。结果表明:接种Glomus etunicatum根系干重增加了9.3%,提高了根内可溶性糖和游离脯氨酸含量,显著减少了根围真菌数量,降低了黄瓜枯萎病的发病率和病情指数。而不接种Glomus etunicatum的黄瓜苗根系干重减少了28.0%。研究认为AM真菌Glomus etunicatum对黄瓜枯萎病具有一定的生防价值。     

西藏高原天然长芒草地丛枝菌根真菌接种效应

采用草地均匀打孔方法,就草地土壤未消毒条件下接种丛枝菌根（AM）真菌对长芒草(Stipa bungeana)的侵染效应以及对植物生长、吸磷效率、土壤微生物区系等的影响进行研究.结果表明,1)接种处理、不接种处理的菌根效应存在着明显的差异,多数接种处理根围土壤AM真菌孢子密度、菌根侵染率和侵染强度显著提高,但对丛枝丰度的影响相对较低.2)接种后AM真菌孢子密度对菌根侵染率具有极显著影响(r=0.7679**);随菌根侵染率的增加,植株总干物重和吸磷总量均呈极显著提高,r值分别为0.7556**、0.8018**.3)与植株地上部相比,接种AM真菌对提高根系干物重、根系吸磷量和含磷量的促进作用相对较大.4)多数接种处理根际土壤酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶活性均呈一定程度的提高,根际土壤细菌数量显著增加,真菌、放线菌的数量变化则不甚明显.5)各接种处理对寄主植物的综合侵染效应在总体上呈Glomus mosseae+G. intraradices+Scutellospora calospora＞G. mosseae+G. aggregatum＞Glomus sp.＞G. mosseae＞G. mosseae+ G. etunicatum+G. intraradices+S. erythropa＞G. geosporum的趋势.     

干旱胁迫下AM真菌对油蒿叶片保护系统的影响

基利用盆栽试验在正常水分和干旱胁迫条件下研究了灭菌土接种AM真菌摩西球囊霉(Glomus mosseae)和土著AM真菌对油(蒿Artemisia ordosica)生长及叶片保护系统的影响。结果表明,干旱胁迫显著抑制了土著AM真菌对油蒿的侵染,但对G.mosseae的侵染影响较小。正常水分和干旱胁迫条件下,接种AM真菌显著增加了油蒿生物量和干重以及根系含磷量;提高了叶绿素、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白含量并降低了脯氨酸和丙二醛含量;显著增强了过氧化氢酶(CAT)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性,增强了油蒿对干旱的防御能力。     

丛枝菌根真菌对百喜草的生理特性的影响

采用盆栽法研究了丛枝菌根（AM）真菌摩西球囊霉（Glomus mosseae）对水分胁迫条件下百喜草（Paspalum notatum）生长、渗透调节及抗氧化酶的影响。结果表明：接种AM真菌显著提高了百喜草的株高、地上部与根部鲜重、地上部P、K、Mn及根部P、Ca、Mn含量,明显降低了地上部Zn及根部Fe、B、Cu水平;随着干旱程度的加深,接种株的地上部相对含水量及叶绿素含量相对稳定且均显著高于未接种株,接种株地上部相对电导率、MDA含量均显著低于未接种株,接种株的地上部POD活性与脯氨酸含量均显著增加且均显著高于未接种株,AM侵染对SOD活性的影响较小。可见,接种AM真菌Glomus mosseae提高了植株体内保护酶活性（如POD）及渗透调节能力（如脯氨酸、P、K、Ca等渗透调节物含量的增加）,从而显著增强了百喜草的抗旱性。     

丛枝菌根真菌种间差异对柚苗营养生长及矿质含量的影响

在温室盆栽条件下研究了3种AM真菌Gigaspora margarita、Glomus mosseae和Glomus versiforme对长寿沙田柚(Citrus grandis cv. Changshou Shatian You)无菌苗营养生长及矿质含量的影响.结果表明,接种AM真菌的植株均有效地被感染;与对照相比,接种AM真菌能显著促进植株地上和地下部分生长,尤其促进了须根的生长,接种Glomus mosseae处理的主根长度比对照增加了22.7％,侧根数量增加了35.7％,须根数量和总长分别增加了160.8％和103.2％;接种AM真菌显著地提高了叶片的N、P、K、Ca、Mg、Zn、Cu和Mn含量,与对照相比,3种真菌处理的P含量分别增加了46.8％、88.7％和32.3％.3种AM真菌处理中,以接种Glomus mosseae处理营养生长最好,菌根依赖性最大,矿质元素N、P、K、Ca、Zn和Cu的含量最高,其效应顺序为Glomus mosseae＞Gigaspora margarita＞Glomus versiforme,可见,3种AM真菌对长寿沙田柚生长均有正效应,以Glomus mosseae最为显著,为长寿沙田柚适宜的优良菌种（株）.     

干旱条件下AM真菌对植物生长和土壤水稳定性团聚体的影响

采用分室培养系统,模拟正常水分和干旱胁迫两种环境条件,探讨不同丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)对紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa L.)生长和土壤水稳性团聚体的影响.试验条件下,Glomus intraradices对苜蓿根系的侵染率均显著高于Acaulospora scrobiculata和Diversispora spurcum接种处理.正常水分条件下,供试AM真菌均能显著提高植株生物量及磷浓度.干旱胁迫显著抑制了植株生长和菌根共生体发育,总体上菌根共生体对植株生长没有明显影响,接种D.spurcum甚至趋于降低植株生物量;同时,仅有G.intraradices显著提高了植株磷浓度.AM真菌主要影响到＞2mm的水稳性团聚体数量,以G.intraradices作用效果最为显著.在菌丝室中,G.intraradices显著提高了总球囊霉素含量.研究表明AM真菌对土壤大团聚体形成具有积极作用,而菌根效应因土壤水分条件和不同菌种而异,干旱胁迫下仅有G.intraradices对土壤结构和植物生长表现出显著积极作用.在应用菌根技术治理退化土壤时,需要选用抗逆性强共生效率高的菌株,对于不同AM真菌抗逆性差异的生物学与遗传学基础尚需进一步研究.     

Gas exchange and photosynthesis of Eucalyptus camaldulensis seedlings inoculated with different ectomycorrhizal symbionts

Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. seedlings inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker & Couch and Thelephora terrestris Ehrl. per Fr. were grown in well watered soil (_s –0.03 MPa) or subjected to a long-term soil water stress of up to –1.0 MPa over 13-week period in a glasshouse. After 13 weeks, all seedling containers were watered to field capacity and then water was withheld from the E. camaldulensis seedlings to induce a short-term drought. Diurnal measurements of seedling photosynthesis rate (A), leaf stomatal conductance (g) and leaf water potential (_p) were completed before, during, and after the short term drought. Although they were growing in an equal soil volume, photosynthesis rate (A), leaf stomatal conductance and leaf water potential (_p) of larger seedlings with P. tinctorius ectomycorrhizae were similar to those of smaller seedlings colonized with T. terrestris during the short-term drought period. Seedlings inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius maintained higher photosynthesis rates over the course of the short-term drought. Thus, P. tinctorius ectomycorrhizae appear to be more efficient than those of T. terrestris in assisting seedlings to maintain gas exchange and photosynthesis under limited soil moisture conditions.     

西南桦幼苗接种丛枝菌根真菌的生长与光合生理响应

为了解丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhiza,AMF)对西南桦幼苗生长和光合生理的影响,对西南桦(Betula alnoides)优良无性系接种AMF菌株后的生长、光合参数、叶绿素含量和荧光参数进行了研究。结果表明,6个AMF菌株均能与西南桦无性系幼苗形成共生体,接种根内球囊霉(Glomus intraradices)菌株(AMF5)和摩西球囊霉(G.mosseae)HUN03B菌株(AMF3)显著提高了幼苗生长量、净光合速率、水分利用效率、叶绿素含量和荧光参数(P0.05),显示出AMF5、AMF3与幼苗的亲和力明显优于其他菌株。西南桦4个无性系间的菌根侵染率差异不显著(P0.05),但AMF对无性系FB4、BY1的促生效应显著优于FB4+和A5。因此,适合与西南桦共生的优良菌株为AMF5和AMF3,这为西南桦菌根化育苗提供理论依据。     

Effects of Flooding Regime and Seedling Treatment on Early Survival and Growth of Nuttall Oak

Effects of flooding on survival and growth of three different types of Nuttall oak (Quercus texana Buckl.) seedlings were observed at the end of third and fifth growing seasons at Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge, Mississippi, U.S.A. Three types of seedlings were planted in January 1995 in a split‐plot design, with four replications at each of two elevations on floodprone, former cropland in Sharkey clay soil. The lower of the two planting elevations was inundated for 21 days during the first growing season, whereas the higher elevation did not flood during the 5‐year period of this study. The three types of 1‐0 seedlings were bareroot seedlings, seedlings grown in containers (3.8 × 21–cm plastic seedling cones), and container‐grown seedlings inoculated with vegetative mycelia of Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker. Survival of all the three seedling types was greatest at the lower, intermittently flooded elevation, indicating that drought and related effects on plant competition were more limiting to seedling survival than flooding. At the lower elevation, survival of mycorrhizal‐inoculated container seedlings was greater than that of noninoculated container seedlings. Survival among bareroot seedlings and inoculated container seedlings was not significantly different at either elevation. At the higher, nonflooded elevation, however, bareroot seedling survival was greater than the survival of container seedlings without inoculation. Differences were significant among the inoculated and the noninoculated container seedlings, with higher survival of inoculated seedlings at both elevations, though differences were only significant in year 3. At the end of the fifth year, height of bareroot seedlings was significantly greater than the heights of both types of container‐grown seedlings at both planting elevations. Because seedlings grown in the plastic seedlings cones did not survive better than the bareroot seedlings at either planting elevation, the bareroot stock appear to be the economically superior choice for regeneration in Sharkey soil.     

Differential effects of two species of arbuscular mycorrhiza on the growth and water relations of Spartium junceum and Anthyllis cytisoides

Anthyllis cytisoides and Spartium junceum are two leguminous shrubs native of semiarid mediterranean areas, often used in revegetation strategies. Mycorrhization of both shrubs with Glomus intraradices BEG 72 enhanced both plants growth and water relations under drought stress. Root colonization achieved by Glomus mosseae was lower than the level achieved by G. intraradices in both plants studied, and the effects of the inoculation with G. mosseae BEG 116 were less positive than those observed for G. intraradices. Before the onset of the drought stress period the specific leaf weight (SLW) of S. junceum plants inoculated with G. mosseae was lower than the SLW of control and G. intraradices plants. At the end of the stress period, after 15 days of withholding water, the relative water content of S. junceum twigs was lower for G. mosseae inoculated plants and higher for G. intraradices inoculated plants, compared to control, non-inoculated plants. At the end of the recovery period, 15 days after the reestablishment of watering, there were no differences between inoculation treatments on the parameters related to the plants water status. Anthyllis cytisoides plants inoculated with G. intraradices had lower leaf osmotic potential, more leaves, and higher chlorophyll content (measured as SPAD values). Anthyllis cytisoides plants responded to drought defoliating, but defoliation was lower for the plants inoculated with G. intraradices. At the end of the drought, the leaf osmotic potential was lowest for G. intraradices plants as was the relative water content (RWC) whilst Glomus mosseae inoculated plants had the highest RWC, SLW and osmotic potential values. At the end of the recovery period, all plants recuperated the osmotic potential values measured at the pre-stress period. In our experiments, G. intraradices BEG 72 was found to be superior to G. mosseae BEG 116, this difference could be attributed to the origin of the fungus, native from a Mediterranean area, compared to G. mosseae (BEG116) isolated from the UK.     

Effects of preplant inoculation of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on population growth of the root-lesion nematode,Pratylenchus penetrans

Six species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomus aggregatum, G. clarum, G. etunicatum, G. intraradices, G. mosseae and G. versiforme) were evaluated, in three greenhouse experiments, for their effects on reproduction of the root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans, and growth of Ottawa 3 apple rootstock. Glomus mosseae increased total dry weights of nematode-inoculated and non-inoculated rootstock in all three greenhouse experiments, and G. intraradices increased dry weights in two of three greenhouse experiments. Plants inoculated with G. mosseae generally supported fewer P. penetrans per gram of root than plants inoculated with other AM fungi, but did not differ significantly from the controls in any greenhouse experiment. Colonization of roots by AM fungi was reduced by P. penetrans at initial inoculum densities greater than 250 nematodes/L soil. In field trials, preplant inoculation with either G. intraradices or G. mosseae increased rootstock growth and leaf concentrations of P, Mg, Zn and Cu in fumigated plots but not in non-fumigated plots, indicating that colonization by native AM fungi in non-fumigated plots may have been sufficient for adequate nutrient acquisition. The abundance of vesicles and arbuscules was greater in roots of plants inoculated with AM fungi before planting than in roots of non-inoculated plants, in both fumigated and non-fumigated plots. P. penetrans per gram of root and per 50 ml soil were significantly lower for G. mosseae- inoculated plants than for non-inoculated plants in fumigated soil but not in non-fumigated soil.     

The differential behavior of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in interaction with Astragalus sinicus L. under salt stress

Three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomus mosseae, Glomus claroideum, and Glomus intraradices) were compared for their root colonizing ability and activity in the root of Astragalus sinicus L. under salt-stressed soil conditions. Mycorrhizal formation, activity of fungal succinate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase, as well as plant biomass, were evaluated after 7 weeks of plant growth. Increasing the concentration of NaCl in soil generally decreased the dry weight of shoots and roots. Inoculation with AM fungi significantly alleviated inhibitory effect of salt stress. G. intraradices was the most efficient AM fungus compared with the other two fungi in terms of root colonization and enzyme activity. Nested PCR revealed that in root system of plants inoculated with a mix of the three AM fungi and grown under salt stress, the majority of mycorrhizal root fragments were colonized by one or two AM fungi, and some roots were colonized by all the three. Compared to inoculation alone, the frequency of G. mosseae in roots increased in the presence of the other two fungal species and highest level of NaCl, suggesting a synergistic interaction between these fungi under salt stress.     

Role of the modification in root exudation induced by arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization on the intraradical growth of Phytophthora nicotianae in tomato

We studied the role of modification in root exudation induced by colonization with Glomus intraradices and Glomus mosseae in the growth of Phytophthora nicotianae in tomato roots. Plants were grown in a compartmentalized plant growth system and were either inoculated with the AM fungi or received exudates from mycorrhizal plants, with the corresponding controls. Three weeks after planting, the plants were inoculated or not with P. nicotianae growing from an adjacent compartment. At harvest, P. nicotianae biomass was significantly reduced in roots colonized with G. intraradices or G. mosseae in comparison to non-colonized roots. Conversely, pathogen biomass was similar in non-colonized roots supplied with exudates collected from mycorrhizal or non-mycorrhizal roots, or with water. We cannot rule out that a mycorrhiza-mediated modification in root exudation may take place, but our results did not support that a change in pathogen chemotactic responses to host root exudates may be involved in the inhibition of P. nicotianae.     

Studies on the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and the efficacy of two native isolates in a highly alkaline anthropogenic sediment

A field survey of the arbuscular mycorrhizal status of herbaceous plant species was conducted in a highly alkaline anthropogenic sediment resulting from the disposal of waste from an acetylene and polyvinyl chloride factory. Most plant species found at the site were mycorrhizal and the dominant mycotrophic plant species was Conyza bilbaoana. Fungal species richness was assessed by identification of spores extracted from the sediment and from continuously propagated trap pot cultures. All of the six species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) found were from the genus Glomus. Glomus intraradices and G. mosseae were found in field-collected sediment samples and also occurred most frequently in trap cultures. To test the symbiotic effectiveness of these two fungi, seedlings of C. bilbaoana were inoculated with either native G. intraradices BEG163 or G. mosseae BEG198 and non-native G. intraradices BEG75 or G. mosseae BEG25 isolates in sterile and non-sterile sediment collected from the study site. All four isolates were able to colonise C. bilbaoana. However, AMF native to the target sediments were generally more effective than the non-native fungi in promoting plant establishment and growth under highly alkaline conditions. The non-native G. intraradices was, however, more effective than the non-native G. mosseae. The results of this study suggest the use of adapted AMF as inoculants for phytorestoration of alkaline anthropogenic-stressed sediments.     

Zinc Extraction potential of two common crop plants,Nicotiana tabacum and Zea mays

White spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] seedlings were inoculated with Hebeloma crustuliniforme and treated with 25 mM NaCl to examine the effects of salinized soil and mycorrhizae on root hydraulic conductance and growth. Mycorrhizal seedlings had significantly greater shoot and root dry weights, number of lateral branches and chlorophyll content than non-mycorrhizal seedlings. Salt treatment reduced seedling growth in both non-mycorrhizal and mycorrhizal seedlings. However, needles of salt-treated mycorrhizal seedlings had several-fold higher needle chlorophyll content than that in non-mycorrhizal seedlings treated with salt. Mycorrhizae increased N and P concentrations in seedlings. Na levels in shoots and roots of salt-treated mycorrhizal seedlings were significantly lower and root hydraulic conductance was several-fold higher than in non-mycorrhizal seedlings. A reduction of about 50% in root hydraulic conductance of mycorrhizal seedlings was observed after removal of the fungal hyphal sheath. Transpiration and root respiration rates were reduced by salt treatments in both groups of seedlings compared with the controls, however, both transpiration and respiration rates of salt-treated mycorrhizal seedlings were as high as those in the non-mycorrhizal seedlings that had not been subjected to salt treatment. The reduction of shoot Na uptake while increasing N and P absorption and maintaining high transpiration rates and root hydraulic conductance may be important resistance mechanisms in ectomycorrhizal plants growing in salinized soil.     

Establishment of Sweet Birch on Surface Mine Spoil as Influenced by Mycorrhizal Inoculation and Fertility

Induced mycorrhization of sweet birch (Betula lenta L.) by Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker & Couch, as influenced by substrate fertility, was evaluated for its effects on seedling growth and physiology. Following a brief period in seed flats, seedlings were transplanted to mine spoil where they resided for 30 months, and three nutrition regimes were imposed throughout the study by application of differing nutrient solution concentrations. High fertility suppressed mycorrhizal formation by P. tinctorius but promoted that of other mycobionts. Pisolithus mycorrhization induced substantial aboveground and belowground growth as indicated by dimensions and mass for the former and mass and length for the latter but favoring root over shoot growth overall. Furthermore, these mycorrhizae were frequently able to compensate for the growth stimulation of higher nutrient additions. Measurements of xylem pressure potential and soil water potential indicated that water uptake was enhanced by P. tinctorius during simulated drought episodes of two durations and in subsequent recovery periods. Inoculated seedlings had higher foliar concentrations of critical nutrients, especially N, and lower concentrations of potentially phytotoxic metallic elements, particularly Mn, than uninoculated seedlings, although the latter response was absent in high fertility. Spoil analyses clearly revealed the influence of the nutrition regimes but also the effects of seedling uptake on substrate chemistry, and reinforced the findings of the foliar analysis concerning suppression of metal uptake by P. tinctorius. Collectively, these results suggest that P. tinctorius can provide sweet birch an array of physiological benefits that will permit this tree species to flourish on harsh substrates such as surface mine spoils without heavy application of chemical fertilizers.
