Advances in Researches of Arbuscular Mycorrhizae in Hevea brasiliensis

The presence of endomycorrhiza in rubber trees was found long ago. But compared with other plants, few research on arbuscular mycorrhizae in rubber tree was conducted at home and abroad. In this paper, the advances and main achievements in recent years were reviewed, which included the survey of endomycorrhiza in rubber trees, the mycorrhizal effects on growth and nutrition of rubber trees and enhancing disease resistance of the trees. The preliminary suggestion was proposed to enhance the research, application and the development of endomycorrhiza in rubber trees.
