Disclosed is a
plant and AM (
arbuscular mycorrhiza)
fungus symbiotic bidirectional cultivating box.
Nutrient solution is filled in a
liquid storage tank, a support plate is connected above the
liquid storage tank, imbibing paper and a
hypha filter membrane are paved on the support plate, two ends of the imbibing paper are immersed in the
nutrient solution, the upper portion of the support plate is provided with a
plant growth chamber,
mycorrhiza chambers and liquid exchange ports are respectively arranged on two sides of the
plant growth chamber, cultivating matrix is disposed in the
plant growth chamber and communicated with the bottom of the
mycorrhiza chambers, and the top ends of the
mycorrhiza chambers are sealed by breathable sealing membranes. The
nutrient solution can automatically enter the mycorrhiza chambers and the
plant growth chamber, so that
plant roots can grow along the
hypha filter membrane. Spores of the AM
fungus can be inoculated to the surface of the
root system after the
root system enters the mycorrhiza chambers,
hypha characteristics of the AM
fungus and forming process of the
root system symbiotic structure of
host plants can be observed and plant
photosynthesis and physiological and biochemical characteristics can be researched transparently and visually. The plant and AM fungus symbiotic bidirectional cultivating box realizes dual cultivation of the AM fungus and the entire plants, and provides an effective way to research the relation of the AM fungus and the plant and actions on the plant.
