Morphological characters of spores and mycorrhizae of <em>Glomus eburneum</em> and spores of <em>Scutellospora fulgida</em>, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota, are described and illustrated. Additionally, the known distribution of these species in both Poland and other regions of the world is presented. Both species were not earlier reported from Europe.

Morphological characters of spores and mycorrhizae of <em>Glomus intraradices</em>, as well as spores of <em>Pacispora robiginia</em>, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota, were described and illustrated. Additionally, the known distribution of these species in both Poland and other regions of the world was presented. Both the species were not so far recorded in Poland and this paper is the second report of the finding of <em>P. robiginia</em> in the

Morphological characters of spores of <em>Acaulospora rehmii</em> and <em>Gigaspora margarita</em> (Glomeromycota) were described and illustrated. Spores of the two species were found in field-collected mixtures of rhizosphere soil and roots collected in Poland. Attempts to produce spores in trap cultures succeeded only with <em>G. margarita</em>. All attempts to establish one-species cultures of the two fungi failed. <em>Gigaspora margarita</em> was for the first time found in Poland and this paper is the first report of the occurrence of <em>A. rehmii</em> in Europe. The known distribution of the two fungal species in the world is also presented.

This part of the two-part paper of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) of the phylum Glomeromycota of agricultural soils of the Western Pomerania, north-western Poland, presents the distribution of 26 species of these fungi in both the sites considered in this study and cultivated soils of other regions of Poland and the world investigated previously. The fungi were isolated from both field-collected rhizosphere soil and root mixtures and trap cultures established from each field sample and seeded with three species of plant hosts. Among the fungal species characterized, 18 are of the genus <i>Glomus</i>, one each of the genera <i>Archaeospora, Entrophospora</i> and <i>Paraglomus</i> and three and two of the genera <i>Acaulospora</i> and <i>Scutellospora</i>, respectively.

The occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with 19 plant species from 12 families growing in the Brda river valley in the Tuchola Forests is presented. The most frequently investigated plans were those from the families <i>Cupressaceae</i> and <i>Plantaginaceae</i>. Examination of trap cultures established from rhizosphere soil-root mixtures of the plans sampled revealed 20 described species of AMF, two undescribed <i>Glomus</i> spp., and three species of the genus <i>Glomus</i> that were difficult to recognize. The dominating AMF were members of the genus <i>Glomus</i>. Among the AMF found, <i>G. claroideum</i> was present, a species recorded for the first time in Poland. The distribution in Poland and in the world of the AMF encountered is shown.

<p>La simbiosis entre plantas de cacao y hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HFMA) confiere beneficios nutricionales y competitivos a la planta, especialmente en condiciones de baja disponibilidad de nutrientes. Se evaluó tres niveles de fósforo (5, 20 y 40 ppm) y la presencia o ausencia de isoflavonoide formononetina. El nivel 14 ppm de P sin el isoflavonoide fue el tratamiento testigo. Todos los tratamientos fueron inoculados con HFMA a excepción del tratamiento control. Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar y se determinaron caracteres morfológicos de la planta a los 70, 110 y 150 días después de la inoculación. Los resultados no mostraron respuesta diferencial a los caracteres morfológicos de la planta por la disponibilidad del isoflavonoide durante los tres muestreos. La longitud radicular presentó diferencias significativas en los muestreo (70, 110 y 150 días de inoculación), siendo esta respuesta dependiente de la disponibilidad de P y la interacción plantamicorriza. El número de esporas mostró diferencias entre los muestreos de 110 y 150 días de inoculación en presencia y ausencia del isoflavonoide, sugiriendo una rápida estimulación en el establecimiento de la relación simbiótica por la formononetina en el proceso de germinación y formación de estructuras fúngicas.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Symbiotic asociation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and the root system of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings: effect of formononetin and phosphorus availability at soil level</strong>.</p><p>The symbiosis established between cacao plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) adds nutritional and competitive benefits for the plant, especially in conditions with a low availability of nutrients. We evaluated three levels of phosphorus (5, 20 and 40 ppm) and the presence or absence of isoflavone formononetin. A Phosphorus level of 14 ppm, without isoflavone or inoculation was the control. All treatments were inoculated with HFMA with the exception of the control. A completely randomized design was used. The morphological characters of the plant at 70, 110 and 150 days after inoculation were determined. The results showed no difference in the response to the morphological characters of the plant with the varied availability of isoflavone during the three sampling. The root length showed significant differences in the different sampling times (70, 110 and 150 days of inoculation), this response being dependent on the availability of P and plant-mycorrhizal interactions. The number of spores demonstrated differences between the samples of 110 and 150 days of inoculation in the presence and absence of isoflavone, suggesting an early stimulation in the establishment of the symbiotic relationship of formononetin in the process of germination and formation of fungal structures. </p>

The ontogenetic development and morphological properties of spores of two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) of the genus <em>Glomus</em>, <em>G. claroideum </em>and <em>G. spurcum</em>, are described and illustrated. Spores of the two species were not earlier found in Poland, and this paper is the first report of the occurrence of <em>G. spurcum </em>in Europe. In one-species pot cultures with <em>Plantago lanceolata </em>as the host plant, the mycorrhizae of <em>G. claroideum </em>consist of arbuscules, vesicles, as well as intra- and extraradical hyphae staining intensively with trypan blue. <em>Glomus spurcum </em>mycorrhizae were not recognized, because many attempts to establish one-species cultures of this fungus failed. Additionally, the distribution of both the fungi in the world is presented.
