Uptake and Distribution of Manganese and Zinc in Pinus virginiana Seedlings Infected with Pisolithus tinctorius
نویسنده
چکیده
Nursery grown seedlings of Pinus virginiana with infection by Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) versus seedlings with naturally occurring mycorrhizae were used in greenhouse experiments to determine the influence of mycorrhizae on manganese and zinc uptake and distribution in seedlings. Unamended Pt mycorrhizal seedlings and those treated with 48.0 mg Mn/pot over a 2-week period accumulated significantly higher Mn concentrations in shoots than non-Pt mycorrhizal plants. Manganese accumulated in roots of non-Pt mycorrhizal, but not Pt mycorrhizal plants. Seedlings treated with 2.4 mg Zn/pot over a 2-week period had less Mn concentrated in shoots than those unamended treatments. Zinc was significantly more concentrated in the roots than in the shoots of Pt mycorrhizal plants. OHIO J. SCI. 86 (4): 22-25, 1986

Boric acid-phenolic relationships within the Pinus echinata-Pisolithus tinctorius ectomycorrhizal association.
At germination, container-grown shortleaf pine seedlings were inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker & Couch or left uninoculated, and both groups were fertilized semiweekly with a modified Hoagland's solution supplemented with 0 or 0.4 mM boric acid. After 12, 16 and 24 weeks, seedling root tissue was analyzed for ectomycorrhizal colonization, phenolic concentration and phenoloxid...

Inoculation of forest seedlings with mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobacteria can improve the morphological and physiological qualities of plants, especially those used for regeneration of arid areas. In this paper, under standard nursery conditions, Aleppo pine seedlings were inoculated with Pseudomonas fluorescens CECT 5281 rhizobacteria. Some of these seedlings were also inoculated with the ectom...

H2PO4 (Pi) uptake rates, and root surface acid phosphatase (APase) rates were assessed in pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.) seedlings inoculated with the ectomycorrhizal fungi Laccaria bicolor (Maire) Pat., Paxillus involutus (Batsch.) Fr., or Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker and Couch, and grown at 10 or 100 μM Pi in sand culture. Following a 6-week period of acclimation to the Pi regimes, se...
متن کاملEctomycorrhizal fungi as an alternative to the use of chemical fertilisers in nursery production of Pinus pinaster.
Addition of fertilisers is a common practice in nursery production of conifer seedlings. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi can be an alternative to the use of chemical fertilisers in the nursery production of Pinus pinaster. A greenhouse nursery experiment was conducted by inoculating seedlings obtained from seeds of P. pinaster plus trees with a range of...
