Abstract Pinus elliottii is an exotic afforestation pine extensively distributed in
southern parts of China. In order to understand whether endophytic fungi can
affect seedling growth of P. elliottii, Piriformospora indica (Pi), Funnelifcrmis
mosseae (Fm), and Diversispora tortuosa (Dt) were inoculated respectively,
and the non-inoculated group was set as control. The growth indexes, the contents
of soluble sugar and soluble protein, and plant endogenous hormone levels in the
leaves of P. elliottii, were analyzed. The results showed that Fm, Dt and Pi colonized
the P. elliottii roots to form mycorrhizal structure and chlamydospores
arranged in beads respectively. Three fungal inoculants exhibited… More >
