Abstract
Urginea indica and Urginea wightii is also known as Indian squill, commonly called as wild onions.It belongs to the family Asperagaceae. It is an important medicinal plant with many medicinal properties. The present study, which is in continuation of the previous investigation, is an attempt to re-highlight the occurance of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and dark septate endophyte (DSE) fungal associations to detemine the diversity of mycorrizal colonizing spores inside the root cells of Urginea indica and Urginea wightii species. The study revealed the occurence of auxillary cells and formation of young vesicles was noticed. The rhizosphere analysis for spore distribution indicated the fungal spores as a regular component of soil microflora and AM fungal spore population of Glomus species was dominant among the recovered spores in most of the localities. The presence of spores of three imprtant genus namely Glomus, Acaulospora and Gigaspora species have found to be common in the three accessions of Urginea indica kunth and Urginea wightii.
