Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Biosolids Enhance the Growth of a Native Australian Grass on Sulphidic Gold Mine Tailings
We tested the efTect oC the addition oC biosolids combined with a native rnycorrhizal inoculum (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi [AMF]) 00 growth oC a native Australian grass, and 00 trace element stabilization oC sulphidic gold mine tailings. A glasshouse trial was established 00 four substrates: tailings (T); tailings with a layer oC 5 cm topsoil (TS); tailings amended with 100 dry t ha-1 biosoli...
متن کاملBioprotective Alkaloids of Grass-Fungal Endophyte Symbioses.
Symbiotic interactions of C3 grasses with fungal endo-phytes, Epichloe species and their asexual relatives Neoty-pkodium, often provide the grass hosts with major fitness enhancements (for review, see Siegel and Bush [1994]). The endophytes protect host plants from both biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. Documented enhancements to host fitness include greater resistance to mammalian and...
متن کاملInfluence of Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) on drought tolerance and charcoal rot disease of cowpea
The influence of Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) (Glomus deserticola and Gigaspora gigantea) were evaluated on drought tolerance and charcoal rot disease of cowpea genotypes: IT90K-277-2, IT84S-2246-4 and IT06K123-1. IT90K-277-2 and IT84S-2246-4 were sown in 3 kg of sterilized soil for drought experiment with five treatments. Treatment was established thirty days after germination with inocul...
متن کاملSeed Treatment with Salicylic Acid Enhance Drought Tolerance in Capsicum
Salicylic acid is a natural chemical used to enhance biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in plants. In our experiment we studied about the effect of salicylic acid on the growth of the capsicum under water stress condition. Four concentrations (0.25, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mM) of salicylic acid (SA) were applied through seed soaked method. Pretreatment with salicylic acid improved the majority of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Agronomic Traits and Drought Tolerance of Safflower Lines Derived from Three Inter-Specific Crosses
Due to genetic erosion over evolution events, the genetic diversity of domesticated safflower species for drought tolerance is limited. Wild species has been considered as useful genetic resources for improvement of abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, a cultivated species (C. tinctorius) was crossed by two wild species (C. palaestinus and C. oxyacanthus) and the genotypes were purified unt...
