在位于 Xinjiang 的 Gurbantunggut 沙漠的植物,中国是改编的干旱种类并且在通常滋养穷人的土壤成长。调查在沙漠被进行决定与合适的荒芜的植物联系的 arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM ) 地位从 annuals 和 perennials 的 11 个家庭的 to23 种类。从所有植物的根为决定 mycorrhizal 殖民的地位和程度的内部、外部的 hyphae,泡和 coils/arbuscules 的存在被检验。调查的植物种类,(61%) 14 被发现形成 AMassociations,(22%) 5 是可能的 AM 开拓殖民地于种类,并且 4 是 non-my-corrhizal 植物。形成 AM 的 annuals 和灌木的 Theproportions 分别地是比 perennials 和植物的那些显著地低的。孢子密度在根地区的土壤每 20 g 从 5 ~ 21 变化了。在 3 个类的上午 14 点 fungaltaxa 被孤立并且识别了其 10 属于血管球, 3 到 Acaulospora, and1 到 Archaeospora。血管球是在识别的所有类的主导的类。G。deser-ticola 和 G.etunicatum 是最普通的税一孤立与 77.4% 和 74.8% 的出现频率,并且相对许多 14.4% 和 15.5% 分别地。
The plants in the Gurbantunggut Desert located in Xinjiang, China are drought adapted species and grow in generally nutrient-poor soils. A survey was conducted in the desert to determine the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) status associated with the desert plants which belong to 23 species from 11 families of annuals and perennials. Roots from all plants were examined for the presence of internal and external hyphae, vesicles and coils/arbuscules to determine the status and extent of mycorrhizal colonization. Of the plant species surveyed, 14 (61%) were found to form AM associations, 5 (22%) were possible AM colonized species, and 4 were non-mycorrhizal plants. The proportions of annuals and shrubs forming AM were significantly lower than those of perennials and herbs, respectively. Spore density varied from 5 to 21 per 20 g in soil of root zone. 14 AM fungal taxa in 3 genera were isolated and identified, 10 of which belonged to Glomus, 3 to Acaulospora, and 1 to Archaeospora. Glomus was the dominant genus in all genera identified. G. deserticola and G. etunicatum were the most common taxa isolated, with occurrence frequencies of 77.4% and 74.8%, and relative abundances of 14.4% and 15.5% respectively.
