Zhou ZhiChun; Chen LianQing; Huang XiuFeng. 2009. Screening of Chinese tulip tree mycorrhizal fungi and effect of growing seedling with mycorrhizae. Forest Research, Beijing. 22(2):196-199. Liriodendron chinense belongs to the tree species with classical endotrophic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Three types of dominant mycorrhizal fungi were isolated and identified, including Glomus versiforme, G. caledonium and G. mosseae. L. chinense seedlings from Wuyishan of Fujian, China was used to examine the effect of mycorrhizal inoculation, and G. mosseae exhibited the best stimulative effect. Furthermore, it was found that the mycorrhizal inoculation with G. mosseae could significantly promote nitrogen and phosphorus acquisition of seedling and enhance seedling growth, root development and dry matter accumulation. The height, root collar diameter, root length, lateral root number and dry matter accumulation of growing seedling with mycorrhizas increased on the average by 42.41, 38.30, 12.90, 21.13 and 137.78% respectively in comparison with non-mycorrhizal seedlings. Further, mycorrhizal inoculation with G. mosseae could significantly improve the quality of growing medium, therefore the available nitrogen and phosphorus content increased by 158.48 and 48.09%, respectively than original medium.
