Abstract

Abstract: Genetically modified (GM) crops are closely related to the environmental elements of soil ecosystem, microorganisms are the important components of the soil ecosystem, thus, whether the large-scale plantation of GM crops would affect soil microorganisms has become an important aspect of ecological risk evaluation. There are many kinds of microorganisms in the soil, so it is necessary to select some representative microorganisms as indicators. As an important soil environment indicator, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an irreplaceable role in improving soil quality and healthy status, enhancing biological diversity and promoting plant growth. This paper reviewed the influence of main GM crops on AMF, and suggested that AMF could be used as a potential indicator to assess the effects of GM crops on soil microorganisms.

Key words: genetically modified crops, soil microorganisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
