To investigate the effect of mycorrhiza on drought resistance and plant growth, Ardisia pusilla were colonized with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), Glomus spp. Host plants were cultured in a growth chamber for 30 days after colonization with AM. Water stress treatment was carried out by repeating five days off-watering and re-watering for 60 days. The growth of A. pusilla was enhanced by AM colonization compared to that of control, while the proline contents was significantly reduced in AM colonized plants compared to that of non-mycorrhizal plants. The inorganic nutrient contents i.e. Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants were higher than those of control.
