Growth Response of in vitro regenerated Drymaria cordata (L.) Willd. ex Roem. & Schult. to inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi

Drymaria cordata (L.) Willd. ex Roem. & Schult. commonly known as ‘West Indian Chick weed’ is a potential herb used in traditional medicine the treatment of many ailments. The main active principles therapeutically are drymaritin and isovitexin. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) symbiotic associations between plants soil fungi that play vital role plant growth development well quality. In present investigation, an attempt was made to determine responses vitro regenerated inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Both normal were inoculated Glomus mosseae fasciculatum. All showed significant morphological results over control after period 30, 60 90 days polyhouse pot experiment. percent colonization number spores rhizosphere significantly more than plants. Inoculation fasciculatum maximum effect. Mycorrhizal increased biomass, root shoot length, height, leaf area, branches, nodes per branch internodal length. Such increases related intensity association root. These findings indicate can be suitable alternative method improve cordata.
