Interactive effects between the invasive weed Stellera chamaejasme and grass: can arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and fungal pathogens coregulate interspecific relationships?

ABSTRACT: The interaction between poisonous weeds and neighboring plants is complex. Poisonous weeds frequently have a competitive advantage in the interaction between poisonous weeds and neighboring plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant pathogenic fungi (PPF) are closely related to the interspecific relationships of plants. However, the role of AMF and PPF between poisonous weeds and neighboring grasses remains unclear. Here, we designed a pot experiment to determine the interspecific relationship between Leymus chinensis and Stellera chamaejasme and the regulation of AMF and PPF. The results showed that interactive effects between L. chinensis and S. chamaejasme significantly inhibited the aboveground growth of both but promoted the underground growth of
