Background: Glomus intraradices is a species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that, as an obligate endomycorrhiza, can form mutually beneficial associations with plants. Panax ginseng is a popular traditional Chinese medicine; however, problems associated with ginseng planting, such as pesticide residues, reduce the ginseng quality. Methods: In this experiment, we studied the effect of inoculating G. intraradices on several physiological properties and microbial communities of ginseng. UV-Visible Spectrum method was used to detect physical properties. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis method was used to analyze microbial communities. Results: The results indicated that inoculation with G. intraradices can improve the colonization rate of lateral ginseng roots, increase the levels of monomeric and total ginsenosides, and improve root activity as well as polyphenol oxidase and catalase activities. We also studied the bacterial and fungal communities in ginseng rhizospheric soil. In our study, G. intraradices inoculation improved the abundance and Shannon diversity of bacteria, whereas fungi showed a reciprocal effect. Furthermore, we found that G. intraradices inoculation might increase some beneficial bacterial species and decreased pathogenic fungi in rhizospheric soil of ginseng. Conclusion: Our results showed that G. intraradices can benefit ginseng planting which may have some instructive and practical significance for planting ginseng in farmland.

The colonization of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices BEG110 in the soil caused a decrease in disease severity in cucumber plants after fungal inoculation with Colletotrichum orbiculare. In order to illustrate the resistance mechanism mediated by G. intraradices BEG110, infection patterns caused by C. orbiculare in the leaves of cucumber plants and the host cellular responses were characterized. These properties were characterized using transmission electron microscopy on the leaves of cucumber plants grown in soil colonized with G. intraradices BEG110. In the untreated plants, inter- and intra-cellular fungal hyphae were observed throughout the leaf tissues during both the biotrophic and necrotrophic phases of infection. The cytoplasm of fungal hyphae appeared intact during the biotrophic phase, suggesting no defense response against the fungus. However, several typical resistance responses were observed in the plants when treated with G. intraradices BEG110 including the formation of sheaths around the intracellular hyphae or a thickening of host cell walls. These observations suggest that the resistance mediated by G. intraradices BEG110 most often occurs in the symplast of the host cells rather than in the apoplast. In addition, this resistance is similar to those mediated by biotic inducers such as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

Resistance inductions on the leaves of cucumber plant by an arbuscular mycorrhiza Glomus intraradices were investigated. In addition, the infection structures were observed at the penetration sites on the leaves of plant inoculated with Colletotrichum orbiculare using a fluorescence microscope. The severity of anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare was significantly decreased on the leaves of cucumber plant colonized with G intraradices compared with those of non-treated control plants. As a positive control, pre-treatment with DL-3-aminobutyric acid (BABA) caused a remarkable reduction of the disease severity on the pathogen-inoculated leaves. There were no significant differences in the frequency of either germination or appressorium formation of the plant pathogen between mycorrhiza colonized and non-treated plants. It was also the same on the BABA pre-treated plants. However, the frequency of callose formation was significantly high on the leaves of G intraradices colonized plants compared to those of non-treated control plants at 5 days after challenge inoculation. On the leaves of BABA treated plants callose formation was not significantly high than those of non-treated, although the disease severity was more strongly suppressed. It was suggested that the resistance induced by colonization with G. intraradices might be related to the enhancement of callose formation at the penetrate sites on the leaves invaded by the pathogen, whereas resistance by BABA did not.

Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) fungi naturally colonise American ginseng roots and this relationship is highly beneficial to enhance plant productivity. Our goal was to determine the effect of adding two Glomus species (Glomus etuticatum, G. intraradices) on survival, photosynthetic capacity, growth, morphology and root ginsenoside content of one-year-old American ginseng plants grown in a broadleaf forest. While our study revealed that VAM inoculations significantly affected root morphology and Re ginsenoside content, the survival, photosynthetic capacity and root growth of American ginseng plants were not significantly influenced by VAM inoculations. Surface area and volume of rootlets were 16-25% higher for ginseng grown in VAM-inoculated soil compared to those grown in the control plots. Also, Re ginsenoside content was 18 ％ higher in YAM-inoculated roots compared to controls.

To investigate protective activity in pepper plants, which were pre-inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Glomus intra radices (Gi), against pathogenic strain Phytophthora capsici (Pc), pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and antioxidant enzymes were examined. The growth of root and shoot was the highest in peppers inoculated with G. intraradices, compared with non-inoculated control plants and those challenged by the pathogen with and without mycorrhizae after nine days of infection. Mycorrhizal colonization rate was reduced by about 10% in pathogen-challenged plants, but disease pressure was reduced. The activities of PR proteins, $\beta$-1- 3-glucanase and chitinase, were increased in Pc-treated plants compared to Gi+Pc-treated plants in leaves, but those in roots were suppressed. Superoxide dismutase activity and $H_2O_2${/TEX> content in Gi+Pc and Pc-treated plants were gradually increased in leaves. However, those in roots continuously increased up to 5 days, and then decreased dramatically. Peroxidase activity in leaves and roots increased after P. capsici infection both in plants inoculated with or without G. intraradices. These results suggest that AM fungi, G. intra radices, potentially act as one of the protective agents against plant pathogens. Changes of PR proteins and antioxidative enzymes in mycorrhizae-inoculated pepper appear to be regulated differently in leaves and roots by pathogen infection.

Newly sprouted American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) seedlings were transplanted to forest pots with mycorrhizae-infested soil and grown in screenhouse for 2 years. Growth patterns, mortality rate and fresh root weight were investigated. Plants in VAM soil had lower mortality rales than control. In soils infested with two species of mycorrhizal fungi (Glomu deseyicola, frappe, Bloss and Merge and G. intraradices, Schenck and Smith), 28-35% of plants produced 3-prongs in the second season and significantly increased fresh root weight by 41 to 43%.

본 연구는 내생균근균 접종이 목본식물의 인공 산성우에 대한 저항성에 미치는 영향을 구명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 아까시나무(Robinia pseudoacacia) 종자를 실험실 내에서 파종한 후, 멸균된 버미큘라이트, 모래, 밭토양을 1:1:1로 혼합한 토양을 담은 1l pot에 건강한 묘목을 이식하였다. 각 pot에 묘목을 이식할 때 분쇄된 뿌리혹과 균근균을 접종하였는데, 뿌리혹은 자연 상태에서 자란 아까시나무림에서 채취한 것을, 내생균근균은 상업용으로 판매하는 Glomus intraradices를 수입하여 사용하였다. pH 2.6, 3.6, 4.6, 5.6 4종류의 인공 산성우는 황산과 질산을 3:1로 혼합하여 만들었다. 각 pot에는 질소와 인을 배제시킨 양료용액과 일정한 pH 수준의 산성우를 각각 180 mm씩 매주 1회씩 50일간 처리하였으며 포트는 온실에 놓아두었다. 실험 종료시 묘목을 굴취하여 엽록소, 무기양료의 함량과 조직의 순광함성량, 건중량, 뿌리의 균근감염율 등을 측정하였다. 균근감염율은 pH 2.6에서 현저히 낮은 수준을 나타냈는데, 이는 극도로 낮은 pH에서 G. intraradices의 활력이 억제됨을 의미한다. 수고생장, 건중량, 뿌리혹 형성, 엽록소 함량, 그리고 순광합성 등은 pH 3.6을 제외한 모든 pH 수준에서 균근감염에 의해 증가하였다. pH 5.6과 4.6에서는 균근균 접종이 뿌리혹 형성을 각각 85%, 45% 증가시켰으나, pH 3.6괴 2.6에서는 균근균 접종이 뿌리혹의 형성을 거의 촉진하지 않았다. 순광합성 량은 모든 pH 수준에서 균근감염에 의해 증가하였다. 조직체 내의 인 함량도 균근감염에 의해 평균 43% 증가하였으며 pH 2.6을 제외하고는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 결론적으로 아까시나무에 대한 균근균 접종은 광합성과 인 함량, 뿌리혹 형성을 증가시킴으로써 생장을 촉진하고, 산성우에 대한 저항성을 높여준다고 할 수 있다.
