We examined effects of aboveground herbivory by spider mites (Tetranychus urticae) on colonization and activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF;Gigaspora margarita) using potted plants (Lotus japonicus). We evaluated changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association two ways: (1) conventional trypan blue staining of mycorrhizal hyphae to examine AMF biomass in roots (mycorrhizal colonization) and (2) vital staining for a mycorrhizal enzyme (succinate dehydrogenase, SDH) to examine mycorrhizal activity (SDH activity). Mycorrhizal colonization and SDH activity started to increase 4 days after aboveground herbivory, and returned to the initial levels in the absence of mite herbivory in 7 and 12 days, respectively. These results suggest that the change in AM association in response to mite herbivory is a short-term response.
