The mycorrhizal traits of plants have been widely reported based on different scales or plant functional groups. To better utilize mycorrhizae to improve the cultivation yield and active ingredient accumulation of medicinal plants, a database of medicinal plant mycorrhizal characteristics is needed. A database on mycorrhizal traits including mycorrhizal type or status of Chinese medicinal plant species was assembled. In this study, the mycorrhizal type or status of a total of 3,230 medicinal plants was presented. Among them, the mycorrhizal traits of 1,321 species were ascertained. These medicinal plants had three mycorrhizal statuses, both single mycorrhiza (SM) and multi-mycorrhiza (MM) contained four mycorrhizal types. The majority of medicinal plants were obligatorily symbiotic with mycorrhizal fungi with 926 (70.10%) species. The most widespread mycorrhizal type is AM, which is associated with 842 medicinal plant species (90.93% of mycorrhiza has an obligatorily symbiotic relationship with Chinese medicinal plants). Another broadly studied mycorrhizal type is ECM, which is associated with 15 medicinal plant species. This study is the first exclusive database on mycorrhizal traits of medicinal plants, which provides both mycorrhizal type and status. This database provides valuable resources for identifying the mycorrhizal information of medicinal plants and enriching the theory of mycorrhizal traits, which will greatly benefit the production or management of medicinal plants.
基于不同尺度或植物功能群，植物的菌根特性已有广泛报道。为了更好地利用菌根来提高药用植物的栽培产量和活性成分积累，需要一个药用植物菌根特性数据库。构建了一个关于包括中国药用植物物种菌根类型或状态的菌根特性数据库。在本研究中，呈现了总共3230种药用植物的菌根类型或状态。其中，确定了1321种植物的菌根特性。这些药用植物有三种菌根状态，单菌根（SM）和多菌根（MM）都包含四种菌根类型。大多数药用植物与菌根真菌形成专性共生关系，有926种（占70.10%）。分布最广的菌根类型是AM，与842种药用植物相关（90.93%的菌根与中国药用植物形成专性共生关系）。另一种被广泛研究的菌根类型是ECM，与15种药用植物相关。本研究是首个关于药用植物菌根特性的专属数据库，提供了菌根类型和状态。该数据库为识别药用植物的菌根信息和丰富菌根特性理论提供了有价值的资源，这将极大地有益于药用植物的生产或管理。
