A pot experiment examined the biomass and As uptake of Medicago truncatula colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae in low-P soil experimentally contaminated with different levels of arsenate. The biomass of G. mosseae external mycelium was unaffected by the highest addition level of As studied (200 mg kg(-1)) but shoot and root biomass declined in both mycorrhizal and...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutualistic association between fungi and higher plants, and play a critical role in nutrient cycling and stress tolerance. However, much less is known about the mycorrhiza-mediated enhancement in growth and salinity tolerance of the peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) growing in the arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, mycorrhizal status of Glomus mosseae in diverse salini...

mycorrhizal status of pistachio seedling in kerman province in regard to region and some soil properties and also symbiotic potential of sorghum, clover and onion isolates with pistachio seedling were evaluated in this research. 72 samples of pistachio nurseries and 67 samples of sorghum, clover and onion farms were gathered from kerman province and mycorrhizal colonization percent of their roo...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Orchid mycorrhizas exhibit a unique type of mycorrhizal symbiosis that occurs between fungi and plants of the family Orchidaceae. In general, the roots of orchids are typically coarse compared with those of other plant species, leading to a considerably low surface area to volume ratio. As a result, orchids are often ill-adapted for direct nutrient acquisition from the soil ...

The benefits of AMF and GPRB of available N and P t o p o t a t o were examined in pot experime n t containing clay loam soil and fertilized with organic matter. Mycorrhizal colonization of potato plants was over whelmed by bacterial inoculation. Results indicated inoculation with GPRB s trains and AMF increased shoot, root and total dry weight of potato plants s ignifican t ly c ompared with s...

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was grown with inoculation of four indigenous AM fungal species in presence of different levels of mine spoil under green house conditions. The growth parameters such as biomass production, grain yield, per cent root infection and number of viable AM fungal spores in the rhizosphere of the mycorrhizal proso millet grown with 25% mine spoil were higher over th...

high temperature is the most important limiting factor for plant growth in many regions. this problem is very serious because of a heading global warming phenomenon. so study of high temperature effects on different cultivars and species and finding out solution to improve plant tolerance is necessary. in this research, effect of mycorrhizalarboscular fungus on some physiological traits of grap...

Tropical crops of great economic importance such as banana are known to benefit from mycorrhizal association. Development and survival of introduced mycorrhizal propagules depend not only on the crops but mainly on the edaphic conditions and soil types where the symbiosis is established. Seven soils from banana fields of Martinique were sampled and tested to determine their receptiveness to myc...

This study evaluated the effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on growth characteristics and gel quality of Aloe Vera. Research was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three replications. Eight treatment of experiment were plant inoculation by different strains of mycorrhiza, namely, Glomus fassiculatum, G. interaradise, G. mosseae, combination of two strains of G. fasiculatum and ...
