AM Fungal Diversity in selected medicinal trees of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali, Mumbai, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The AM fungal composition, diversity & distribution was studied in five trees (Sapindus trifoliatus, Psidium gujava, Citrus limonia, Aegle marmelos and Bauhinia variegata) of medicinal importance from Thane region of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai, India. AM colonization ranged from 75% to 85%. AM spore density ranged from 58±5 to 75± 7 in the rhizospheric soils. Based on morphological characters 24 Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal species belonging to five genera were isolated and identified. Out of the five trees,Citrus limonia showed maximum species richness followed by Bauhinia variegata and Aegle marmelos. The isolation frequency of Acaulospora and Glomus was 100%. Ambispora and Scutellospora were less frequently found.
