Abstract: | To investigate the occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) and their morphological types, four Athyrium yokoscense and five A. niponicum individuals were collected at a lead-contaminated site. Three of the A. yokoscense and four of the A. niponicum formed AM structures. However, the percentage of AM formation within both species differed significantly among individuals. Morphological types of most AM structures were the Paris-type, except for one A. yokoscense that formed both Paris-type and Arum-type-like structures in different parts of the same root section. These results demonstrate that the two Athyrium species form AM associations in lead-contaminated soil. |
