Root-knot nematode penetration and morphopathlogy of the infection sites were studied in roots, stem and hypocotyls of Luffa cylindrica, L. and effect of combined inoculation of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) fungi included Glomus mossae, Glomus intraradices, G. fasciculatum, Acaulospora sp. and Meloidogyne incognita (Root-knot Nematode) were investigated. The maximum number and size of...

Our previous investigation found elevated nitrogen deposition caused declines in abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with forest trees, but little is known about how nitrogen affects the AMF community composition and structure within forest ecosystems. We hypothesized that N deposition would lead to significant changes in the AMF community structure. We studied the divers...

Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Huber ex Ducke) occurs naturally in the Brazilian Amazon. Currently, it is being planted extensively because of its fast growth and excellent use in forestry. Consequently, there is great interest in new strategies to increase wood production. The interaction between soil microorganisms and plants, specifically in the roots, provides essential nutrients fo...

Abstrak: Fungi mikoriza arbuskula (FMA) merupakan tipe asosiasi yang tersebar sangat luas, fungi ini memiliki peran dan manfaat penting dalam dunia pertanian.

Penilitian dilaksanakan perkebunan rakyat...

Background: The elements that are toxic to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and soil microorganisms, the levels at which they affect them, poorly known.
 Objective: To quantify effects of: 1) aluminum added (0, 50 100 mg kg-1) 2) inoculation with AMF (two isolates without prior exposure aluminum, Acaulospora delicata Gigaspora margarita, native community of a contaminated Al, control AMF...

Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskular (FMA) mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman dengan cara membantu penyerapan air dan unsur hara dari dalam tanah. Selain itu, FMA juga berperan ketahanan terhadap serangan patogen. Laboratorium Produksi Tanaman Perkebunan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Lampung memiliki 35 koleksi isolat mikoriza. Isolat-isolat tersebut belum teridentifikasi baik sampai ke level spesies...

Salinization has led to the deterioration of ecological environment, affected growth plants, and hindered development agriculture forestry. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, as important soil microorganisms, play significant physiological roles in promoting plant nutrient absorption improving structure. Puccinellia tenuiflora (Turcz.) Scribn. et Merr. Songnen saline-alkaline grassland was sele...
