Introduction: In order to solve the inhibition of alkaline environment on plants growth at the initial stage of Eco-restoration of vegetation concrete technology, introducing AMF into vegetation concrete substrate is an effective solution.
Methods: In this study, (GM), (GI) and a mixture of two AMF (MI) were used as exogenous inoculation agents. and were selected as host plants to explore the relationship between the physiological characteristics of plants and the content of substrate cement under exogenous inoculation of AMF.
Results: The experiment showed that, for , the maximum mycorrhizal infection rates of inoculation with GM, MI were when the cement contents ranged 5-8% and that of GI inoculation was with the cement contents ranging 5-10%. Adversely, for , substrate cement content had little effect on the root system with the exogenous inoculation of AMF. Compared with CK, the effects of AMF inoculation on the physiological characteristics of the two plants were different. When the cement content was the highest (10% and 8% respectively), AMF could significantly increase(<0.05) the intercellular CO concentration (Ci) of . Moreover, for both plants, single inoculation was more effective than mixed inoculation. When the cement content was relatively low, the physiological characteristics of were promoted more obviously by the inoculation of GI. At higher cement content level, inoculation of GM had a better effect on the physiological characteristics of the two plants.
Conclusion: The results suggest that single inoculation of GM should be selected to promote the growth of and in higher alkaline environment.
