THE SYMBIOSIS EFFECT OF VESICULAR-ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA ON GROWTH OF POA BULBOSA (BULBOS BLUE GRASS)

Inoculation experiments were carried out in pot culture to determine the effects of VA fungi on the growth of Poa bulbosa. In this experiment, four treatments  were  used: 1. Strile soil without  inoculation,  2. Strile soil plus inoculum, 3. Natural soil plus inoculum, and 4. Natural soil without inoculation. Inoculum was prepared from a suspension of mycorrhizal  roots of  Poa  plants (Root c...

Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Influence Growth but Not Mineral Concentrations in Seedlings of Eight Sweetgum Families

Modelling Ammonium Transporters in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Symbiosis

The Stochastic Calculus of Wrapped Compartments (SCWC) is a recently proposed variant of the Stochastic Calculus of Looping Sequences (SCLS), a language for the representation and simulation of biological systems. In this work we apply SCWC to model a newly discovered ammonium transporter. This transporter is believed to play a fundamental role for plant mineral acquisition, which takes place i...

Sulfur transfer through an arbuscular mycorrhiza.

Despite the importance of sulfur (S) for plant nutrition, the role of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis in S uptake has received little attention. To address this issue, 35S-labeling experiments were performed on mycorrhizas of transformed carrot (Daucus carota) roots and Glomus intraradices grown monoxenically on bicompartmental petri dishes. The uptake and transfer of 35SO4(2-) by the...
