Mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous in microbial ecosystem. Among microorganisms of soil, mycorrhizal fungi are the only ones that provide a link between soil and roots directly, and play an important role to plants in adversity. Mycorrhizal fungi can form a symbiotic relationship with most plants, and improve the ability of stress resistance to host plants. This review summarizes the function and mechanisms of mycorrhizal fungi in salt stress, heavy metal pollution, organic pollution, drought, biological stress, and ecological restoration, to provide reference of the relationships among mycorrhizal fungi, plant and adversity for intensive study.
