A new record: Incidence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in eleocharis konkanensis an endemic sedge of maharashtra (India)

Family Cyperaceae, members are commonly known as sedges. This family has ambiguity about mycorrhizal or non-mycorrhizal nature. So far, many sedges have been investigated globally for mycorrhizal occurrence interest. However, a sedge genus, Eleocharis has been not paid more attention for mycorrhizal investigations. Present work is the first attempt to evaluate mycorrhizal status in a recently discovered endemic sedge species: Eleocharis konkanensis Chandore, Borude, Kambale & S.R. Yadav which grows in a Lateritic rocky plateaus habitat. This study makes a new report on mycorrhization in an endemic sedge: E. konkanensis.
