[ 1 ] - Investigation on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) associated with Crocus sativus in Khorasan Razavi and Southern Khorasan provinces (north east of Iran)
Iran is the largest producer of saffron (Crocus sativus) in the world. More than 80% of higher plant species have a mutual relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, which enhances the plant growth and its productivity. With identification of native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their application, it could be possible to expand saffron cultivated area and increase the performance of arable lands. ...

[ 5 ] - INTRODUCTION OF SOME NEW ARBUSCULAR-MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (AMF) FROM CITRUS RHIZOSPHERE OF IRAN
During 2001-2002, a total number of 164 soil-root samples were collected from citrus orchards of six provinces, namely, Fars, Gilan, Mazandaran, Kerman, Hormozgan and Sistan va Baloochestan. Soil samples were decanted and centrifuged and spores were collected and examined. Out of 23 identified species, five species were recognized new to Iran mycoflora. New species are as follows: Gomus albidum...
