| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fern gametophytes are colonized with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungal colonization levels appear to be correlated with habitats, where gametophytes are growing; terrestrial gametophytes show high level of AM colonization, while epiphytic ones show low level. To clarify habitual relationships between fern gametophytes and AM fungi, we performed experimental co-cultivations of fern gametophytes and AM fungi. Fern gametophytes examined were classified to three groups: (1) AM infection rates show 100%, and infected gametophytes are much larger in size than uninfected gametophytes, (2) AM infection rates were 50-100% , but infected gametophytes are not significantly larger in size than uninfected gametophytes, and (3) AM infection rates show 0%. Gametophytes in the group (1) and (2) probably have high and relatively low nutritional dependence on AM fungi, respectively. In contrast, gametophytes in the group (3) rather may have a certain system to avoid fungal infection.
