%X we report the growth promoting potential of piriformospora indica, which is a newly discovered arbuscular mycorrhiza-like fungus. it is a facultative symbiont and unlike arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, it can be cultured in vitro. adhatoda vasica is a medicinal plant. rapid proliferation of roots was recorded in a. vasica withan important root colonization estimated to 95% after 6 months. p. indica improved growth of a. vasica. this association forms a new host-symbiont combination
