Forty different medicinal plant species were investigated for arbuscular mycorrhizal association from Pookode Lake area, Wayanad district, Kerala. The spore density and percentage of infection varied with plant species. The percentage of AM fungal colonization ranged from 30 to 80. The highest AM fungal infection was exhibited in Centella asiatica (80%) and maximum spore population in Leucas aspera (690/100g). Totally 36 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species were recovered from the rhizosphere of 40 medicinal plant species belongs to 20 plant families. The arbuscular mycorrhizal spore species Glomus fasciculatum was found dominant.

The present investigation has brought out the AM fungal association in some plant species of Kodikuthimala, Malappuram district Kerala. Totally, 25 plant species belongs to 15 families were analyzed for arbuscular mycorrhizal association. The root samples of all collected plant species showed mycorrhizal infection. The percentage of colonization was varied with plant species and it ranges from 12 (Commelina benghalensis) to 79% (Sida rhombifolia). Maximum spore population was observed in Gloriosa superba (574/100g of soil) and minimum in Euphorbia hirta (143/10g of soil). Totally 26 AM fungal species belongs to 13 genera were found. Among this Glomus was most dominated. In most of the plants, spores of Rhizophagus fasciculatus are seen. Present study confirms the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal association in the collected plant species.

Medicinal Uses

Ethnomedicine is the study of traditional uses of plant by people who live in rural areas. The present study is the documentation of traditional knowledge on plant utilization by local people in Bharat Pokhari, Kaski and was conducted during February-July 2020 by using the following methods. Data about medicinal uses of plants were collected using the questionnaire, personal interview and group discussion. Voucher specimens were collected from informants and identified with the help of available literature and taxonomic experts. The plant species were then categorized based on their medicinal uses. During the study, 56 medicinal plant species belonging to 36 families were documented. These plants have been used to treat various diseases. The highest number of species (20) being used for gastro-intestinal disorders, followed by bone and muscular ailments (13), cold and cough (11) and respiratory system ailments (10). In the study area, the popularly used medicinal plant species are Acacia pennata Willd, Acorus calamus L., Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f., Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Cassia fistula L., Centella asiatica (L.) Urb., Ocimum sanctum L., Terminalia chebula Retz., and Viscum album L.

Anthropogenic Threats

Glyphochloa santapaui (S.K. Jain & Deshp.) Clayton santapaui is endemic to Maharashtra state restricted to Ferricrete-Lateritic rocky plateaus at Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri district. Due to ongoing anthropogenic threats this species is rated as Vulnerable under IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and hence attention is needed toward its conservation.The lateritic plant-soil interactions in different taxa is dependent to their microbial or mycorrhizal associates. So far endemic grass species - Arbuscular mycorrhizal associations on Lateritic rocky plateaus are poorly investigated. In present paper critical assessment of AM fungal colonization in roots of vulnerable- endemic grass Glyphochloa santapaui is interpreted. Overall colonization percentage was 71.80%. Moreover, root segments of some samples were commonly co-colonized by dark septate hyphae (dsh) of other fungal endophytes (Ofe) and AM fungi. In present assessment, four Glomeromycota families viz., Acaulosporaceae, Diversisporaceae, Gigasporaceae and Glomeraceae were recorded comprising 18 species under 6 genera. These AM fungal species are viz., Acaulospora elegans, A. rehmii, A. scrobiculata,  A. tuberculata,  A. appendicula;  Diversispora epigaea; Gigaspora albida, G. gigantea, G. margarita, G. rosea; Scutellospora calospora S. dipurpusescrns; Glomus gerdemanni, G. hoi, G. occultum, G. versiforme, G. warcuppi and  Sclerocystis sinuosa.  On the basis of analysis of spore density and relative abundance, two dominanting species of AM fungi viz., Diversispora epigaea and Gigaspora gigantea were recognized.
