Abstract
With the progress of science and technology and the deepening of people’s understanding of mycorrhizal fungi, the diversity and function of mycorrhizal fungi have attracted attention of scholars, and the research on mycorrhizal application technology has been strengthened. In order to grasp the latest progress and current situation of mycorrhizal fungi diversity research, and clarify the achievements in the research and application fields of mycorrhizal fungi diversity and function, this study summarizes the latest research progress of mycorrhizal fungi diversity and function, which are discussed. The morphological characteristics, anatomical characteristics, host plant species and mycorrhizal fungal types, the species and genetic diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, the origin of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and the influencing factors of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity are discussed. A lot of work has been done on the species, geographical distribution, ecological characteristics, and resource investigation of ectomycorrhizal fungi. More and more ECM fungal resources have been detected and identified. The ecological function of mycorrhizal fungi is manifested in the aspects of plant community and plant ecosystem stability by improving ecosystem productivity. Mycorrhizal fungi can form symbionts with plants, enter the food web as food, and affect terrestrial ecosystems.
