Arbuscular mycorrhiza-like biotechnological potential of Piriformospora indica, which promotes the growth of Adhatoda vasica Nees

چکیده
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.

Colonization of root cells and plant growth promotion by Piriformospora indica occurs independently of plant common symbiosis genes
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota) form symbiosis with and deliver nutrients via the roots of most angiosperms. AM fungal hyphae are taken up by living root epidermal cells, a program which relies on a set of plant common symbiosis genes (CSGs). Plant root epidermal cells are also infected by the plant growth-promoting fungus Piriformospora indica (Basidiomycota), raising the ques...
متن کاملEnzyme inhibition, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of vasicine isolated from Adhatoda vasica Nees.
Vasicine (1) was isolated from the ethanolic extract of Adhatoda vasica Nees (Acanthaceae) and the structure was confirmed using spectroscopic techniques. Acetylcholine esterase, trypsin, DPPH inhibition potential and FRAP assay were carried out using in vitro models. The results showed 38.4 ± 1.2% and 37.4 ± 1.1% activity in acetylcholine and trypsin inhibition assays respectively. The compoun...

متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species Generation-Scavenging and Signaling during Plant-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal and Piriformospora indica Interaction under Stress Condition
A defined balance between the generation and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential to utilize ROS as an adaptive defense response of plants under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Moreover, ROS are not only a major determinant of stress response but also act as signaling molecule that regulates various cellular processes including plant-microbe interaction. In particular,...
