Abstract

Abstract:

A comprehensive investigation into the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal（AM）fungi in orchards and their mechanisms of interaction with fruit trees is of great significance for overcoming the limitations posed by biotic and abiotic stresses in fruit production and promoting the sustainable development of orchards. This paper systematically reviews AM fungal species diversity in orchard soil ecosystems，the key driving factors influencing their diversity and community assembly，and the physiological，biochemical，and molecular mechanisms underlying AM fungal enhancement of fruit tree resistance. These mechanisms include enhancing the uptake of water and mineral nutrients and activating the host's systemic resistance signaling pathways. Finally，the potential applications of AM fungi in sustainable orchard management and future research directions are discussed.

Key words: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, fruit trees, soil ecosystem, nutrient acquisition, stress resistance, molecular mechanisms
