Peanut has long been cultivated in Indonesia and is generally grown on dry land. The continuous use of inorganic fertilizers can have a negative impact the soil, so there need for environmentally friendly such as biological fertilizers. This study aimed to elucidate effect mycorrhiza biofertilizer vegetative generative growth peanuts. was conducted experimental field Cikabayan IPB with three-fa...

The mycorrhizal status of dune plants from the island of Hawaii was investigated. All plants, including Batis maritima, Cocos nucifer, Ipomoea brasiliensis, Pennisetum setaceum , Prosopis pallida, Scaevola taccada, and Sporobolus sp., had vesicular urbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) . Levels of colonization by VAM fungi ranged from less than 10% to 100% of the root length and were highest in Ipomoea ...

It has been noted previously that nutrient-stressed plants generally release more soluble carbohydrate in root exudates and consequently support more mycorrhizae than plants supplied with ample nutrients. Fertilization may select strains of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi that are inferior mutualists if the same characteristics that make a VAM fungus successful in roots with a lowe...

Cell and tissue cultures offer the prospect of adding traits and producing genetic combinations which could not be obtained by sexual crossing. This would involve mutation, transcession, transduction, transformation, and somatic cell hybridisation. In vitro methods can also be used in forestry for preservation of gene resources, production of homozygous specimens, prediction of phenotypic expre...

This experiment was a factorial randomized block design (RAK). The screen house used the of experimental garden Faculty Agricultural and Animal Sciences, Indonesian National Islamic University. land taken from coast Kuala Kab. Bireuen, Aceh. Soil top soil layer with depth 0-25 cm. Mycorrhizae were placed in planting holes around root area at 2-3 cm according to treatment per plant before seeds ...

Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst is one of the woody plants soudano-Sahelian zones, with great socioeconomic importance. The local populations over-exploit this species for their daily socio-economic needs and endangered its durability. objective study was to contribute domestication by low-cost technique Root Segments Cuttings (RSC). substrates sand/sawdust dark soil/Sawdust have been inoc...

Fungi are common in aquatic and terrestrial environments, absorb the nutrients they need, and occur as either free-living or in symbiotic forms. In terrestrial environments, fungi are of fundamental importance as decomposers, plant pathogens, symbionts, and in biogeochemical cycles. In soils, fungi can comprise the largest pool of biomass. To date, there are an estimated 1.5 million species of ...

A significant fraction of carbon stored in the Earth's soil moves through arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (EM). The impacts of AM and EM on the soil carbon budget are poorly understood. We propose a method to quantify the mycorrhizal contribution to carbon cycling, explicitly accounting for the abundance of plant-associated and extraradical mycorrhizal mycelium. We discuss the nee...

We describe the morpho-anatomical features of the ectomycorrhizas (ECMs) formed by Lactifluus rugatus on Cistus, a genus of about 20 species of woody shrubs typical of the Mediterranean maquis. The description of L. rugatus mycorrhizas on Cistus is the first ECM description of a species belonging to Lactifluus subgen. Pseudogymnocarpi. The ECM identity was verified through molecular tools. Anat...
