Publication Abstract:
Funneliformis mosseae (=Glomus mosseae) is one of the most important arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF),
widely distributed throughout the world and associated with plants of different regions of the world including
rangeland. We have frequently encountered F. mosseae during our ongoing survey of AMF from rangeland plants
collected from different habitats of Saudi Arabia. As there was no systematic record of this fungus from Saudi
Arabia, so we have recorded the occu
rrence of this fungus with many different types of hosts obtained from
rangeland plants of Saudi Arabia and a taxonomic description of the fungus is mentioned in this communication
from a large number of spore samples
