As contrasted to the controls, VAM could increase plant growth ( such as plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry mass), enhance leaf relative water content, photosynthetic rates, transpiration rates, stomatal conductance and improve plant drought tolerance significantly when the relative water content of soil was 20 %, 40 %, 60 % respectively. The water consumption of the mycorrhizal plants producing one gram dry matter was from percent to percent less than that of nonmycorrhizal plants under the same soil water content condition. The VAM colonization, the growth of plants, water status of plants had no definitely difference between the water experiment (Water treatments started from sowing) and (Water treatments started from 40 days after sowing). Key words : VA mycorrhiza ; Wild jujube ( Zizyphus spinosus Hu) ; Seedlings ; Drought tolerance
