Abstracts |
The Sakesar hills fall in Dry subtropical submountaneous forest of salt range. The highest peak of this range is 1522 m above sea level. Conifers especially Pinus roxburghii and P. wallichiana occupy the upper altitudinal zone of these hills. During the investigation of pines of Sakesar hills for the exploration of diversity of ectomycorrhizas, twenty-two root samples from the rhizosphere of these trees were taken from different sites of PAF Base, Sakesar, Pakistan. This investigation revealed fifteen different kinds of ectomycorrhizas. The isolated mycorrhizas are morphologically and anatomically described and are given tentative binomials considering each mycorrhiza as a distinct entity. These ectomycorrhizas fall in the category of unidentified mycorrhizas, as their possible mycobionts are not known. |
