“…He speculated that almost all woody species of lowland rain forest form this type of mycorrhiza. In addition, V-A mycorrhizae have been reported on several strictly tropical crops including coffee (Janse 1896), sugar cane (Cifferi 1928), tea (Butler 1939), citrus (Reed and Fremont 1935), oil palm (Rayner 1939, cited (Sabet 1940), cocoa (Laycock 1945), coconut (Johnston 1949), avocado , Brazilian rubber tree (Wastie 1965), litchi nut (Pandy and Misra 1971), papaya ( Ramirez et al 1975), and pejibaye palm (Janos 1977).…”

In experiments with plants grown in pots, vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae increased seedling growth of 23 of 28 species from a lowland tropical rain forest region. Mycorrhizae improved survival in six species and cotyledon retention in five species. Mycorrhizae also increased the size of bacterial nodules and the proportion of modulated plants among three leguminous species.Growth of seedlings lacking mycorrhizae slowed greatly or ceased after attainment of sizes correlated with average seed dry mass. Removing cotyledons from individuals of two species that are dependent on mycorrhizae, however, did not increase their response to inoculation. Thus, seed reserves are important for mycorrhiza formation as well as for seedling growth before infection. Large seeds are advantageous to plants that depend on vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae because they provide mineral reserves upon which the seedling can draw while awaiting infection.Seedlings of some species could not grow without mycorrhizae, but inoculation did not affect the growth of other species. Species that are least dependent on mycorrhizae have light seeds and colonize disturbed habitats.

Summary.In Taiwanese forests a dependence of mycorrhizal types on the altitude is recognizable: in the lower tropical regions VA-mycorrhizae dominate, whereas in the mixed subtropical forests most of the species show VAmycorrhizae, but there are also several species with ectomycorrhizae. In the higher mountains ectomycorrhizae predominate. In addition to this relationship between mycorrhizal status and altitude, some tree species belong to typical ectomycorrhizal or VA-mycorrhizal families. Ten ectomycorrhizal types from Taiwanese trees were characterized by macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural features. The basic structures of hyphal mantles are the same in Taiwan as in the Black Forest (southwest Germany). Two of the types described and two further types are identical with types from the Black Forest on Picea abies (L.) Karst. Only two fungal partners could be identified (Lactarius, Amphinema), all others are unknown. Some noteworthy observations are: an epidermis-like covering of a hyphal mantle, an ectendomycorrhiza on Pinus taiwanensis Hayata with Amphinema byssoides and wall ingrowths in the outer cortical layer of Castanopsis-mycorrhizae.
