“…Such pattern of host specificity of growth rates has been reported elsewhere (Johnson et al 1992;Nelson and Allen 1993;Douds and Millner 1999). This specificity of fungal response could contribute to the maintenance of diversity within the AM fungal community (Bever et al (Daniell et al 1999). Therefore, although the AM fungal species diversity is low, the combinations of fungal species are various, which is beneficial for most plants in the subtropical forest of Huangshan to be colonized by AM fungi.…”

The world heritage of Huangshan is located in the east-central China. In order to obtain a better overview of biodiversity in Huangshan, we investigated the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soil of Huangshan. Forty-two rhizosphere soil samples were collected and 989 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore samples were obtained using the wet-sieving method. Twenty-five species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were identified from the collections. The species were of the genera Acaulospora (6 species), Entrophospora (1 species), Glomus (16 species) and Scutellospora (2 species). Acaulospora and Glomus were dominant at the study site. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spore density ranged from 45 to 3,250 per 100 g soil (average 839), and the species richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ranged from 1 to 9 (average 4.2) per soil sample. Shannon-Wiener index and Simpson's index were calculated to evaluate the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity. The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community in the subtropical forest of Huangshan may be the result of mutual selection between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and the ecological environment.

“…1). The Passenger hypothesis assumes that AMF are highly host specific (Daniell et al 1999, Newsham et al 1995, Klironomos et al 2000, and specific plants are required to stimulate growth of specific AMF. Therefore, if plant composition changes over time, so too would their AMF partners.…”

“…It may be a conscious exaggeration, but it is not far from reality. Actually, roots of 95% of land plants are colonized by mycorhizzal fungi, while the arbuscular mycorrhiza is a symbiotic partner in 80% of land plants (Daniell et al, 1999;Bago et al, 2000). Secondarily aqueous plants are an exception, in which bacteriorrhiza plays a similar role.…”

Phylogenetic and ontogenetic relationships between the plastids, cell endoplasmic reticulum, and plant transport communication have been reviewed. The initiating role of plastids (endosymbionts) in the origin of endoplasmic reticulum (buffer zone of endosymbiogenesis) has been shown, as well as a similar role of endoplasmic reticulum in the development of transport communication of xylem and phloem. Plastids, sugars and transport system for their distribution can be interpreted as leading sections in the mechanism of developmental control: gene expression of nuclear genome and genome of organelles, cell and tissue differentiation, and plant morphogenesis. The conflict between the bulk of plant genome and low percentage of its realization is explained as a result of limitation of the nuclear genome realization by plastid genome. The concept of development as applied to plant ontogenesis has been critically analyzed. The possibilities of the concept correction by with the help of symbiogenetic hypothesis are discussed.
