MYCORRHIZAL ASSOCIATIONS IN GYMNOSPERMS OF WEST PAKISTAN
Abstract: Mycorrhizal associations in gymnosperms collected from West Pakistan have been investigated. All the gymnosperms examined are mycorrhizal. fEctotrophic association is found only in the members of the family Pinaceae, whereas rest of the Coniferales, members of orders Ginkgoales, Taxales and Ephedrales, are found to have endotrophic mycorrhizal associations. Endogone spores are present in the rhizospheres of endotrophic mycorrhizae. Detailed investigations regarding the types of spores and their ability to synthesize the vesi- cular-arbuscular mycorrhizae are in progress and their results will be made available on the conclusion of these experiments.
