Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizae were absent in 75 individuals of Deschampsia an tarctica (Antarctic hair-grass) collected from the Palmer Station area , Antarctica, and the accompanying soil sampled had no mycorrhizal inf ectivity. However, D. antarctica was capable of forming typical arbusc ular mycorrhizae infections with Glomus intraradices and Glomus etunic atum in the greenhouse.
