What is Biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plant roots and rhizosphere soil from different arid land environment of Qatar about?
## Abstract Recently more attention has been observed toward the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in plant growth. Qatar belongs to the Arabian Gulf region with hot and dry climatic conditions. The study aims to investigate the species composition and abundance of AMF in Qatar, rhizosphere soil samples, and roots of plants from 12 families and 8 different locations. The AMF were identified based on the sequencing of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product of the amplified conserved ITS region. The reported AMF infection rate was found to vary with location and plant species. __Tamarix aphylla__ recorded the highest AMF infection rate (100%), followed by __Blepharis ciliaris__ (98%) and __Sporobolus ioclados__ (92%). AMF spore counts ranged from 29.3 spores in __Blepharis ciliaris__ to 643 spores/100 g soil in __Fagonia indica__. No correlation was detected between colonization rate and spore counts. While all AMF identified at species levels were reported in other regions, new species are still expected since some were identified only at higher taxonomic levels. __Claroideoglomus drummondii__ and __Rhizophagus irregularis__ were the most widespread while __Claroideo
