Abstract: | To explore the effects of plant hormones levels excreted by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on the growth of poplars, Populus × euramericana cv. NL-895 seedlings were inoculated with nine species of ECM fungi. We investigated the status of ectomycorrhizal formation
and the effects of these fungi on poplar growth, and using the HPLC method, we measured the contents of four kinds of plant
hormones, indole acetic acid (IAA), zeatin (Z), gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in both the culture filtrate and
the mycelium of these fungi. The results showed that the effects of nine ECM fungi on the growth of poplar NL-895 varied.
The inoculated seedlings, whether or not obvious mycorrhizas were developed, grew better than those non-inoculated ones. All
nine ectomycorrhizal fungi excreted the four plant hormones, but at different levels. The hormone contents in culture filtrate
were higher than that in mycelium, which showed a definite relationship with poplar growth. Significantly, correlation analysis
suggested the height and stem diameter of the poplar were positively correlated with zeatin contents in the mycelium, and
were negatively correlated with the levels of ABA or IAA in the mycelium.
