Abstract

In the present investigation, the insectivorous plant, Drosera burmannii   and Drosera indica inhabiting in the natural ecosystem was evaluated for categorizing the status of mycorrhizal association. The results revealed the occurrence of colonization by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The colonization by AM fungi was noticed in the cortical cells and it was more in the outer cortical cells. Hyphal coils and hyphal penetration in the epidermis along with arbuscules were also observed. The study suggests the presence of AM Fungi associations may assist benefit to the plant to acquire nutrients from the soil.
