This study aims to evaluate the role of extraradical mycelium arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Pb transport. We also investigate how these fungi, alone or combined with mycoremediated dry olive residue (MDOR), provide protection against Pb. established a container system consisting central compartment and two lateral compartments separated by hydrophobic membrane. The was filled sterilized soil ...

Two years experiment were conducted in 2016-2017 as split-plot based on randomized completely block design with three replications to morpho-physiological responses of Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.) plant mycorrhizal fungi species treatments (control, Rhizophagus intraradices, Funneliformis mosseae, Glomus hoi and combined application all species) under different irrigation regimes (irriga...

Climate change prediction indicates an increased likelihood of precipitation variability and droughts in the Mediterranean region. Previous studies demonstrated that microbial symbionts combined with supplementary irrigation could mitigate climate effects boost chickpea production low-fertility soils. The aim study was to assess inoculation a consortium plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGP...

The papaya tree is not very exploitable on the international market because of post-harvest decline fruits. In this study, we identified arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from rhizosphere in two agroecological zones Cameroon (Njombe-Pendja: NP and Yaounde: Y). Morphological studies density, rate root colonization, diversity AMF species were evaluated. Molecular identification was performed by ...

Proline accumulation was often correlated with drought tolerance of plants infected by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), whereas lower proline in some AM plants including citrus was also found under drought stress and the relevant mechanisms have not been fully elaborated. In this study proline accumulation and activity of key enzymes relative to proline biosynthesis (▵(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxy...

Trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L) Raf.] is considered highly arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) dependent for growth responses through a series of signal transductions in form of various physiological responses. The proposed study was carried out to evaluate the effect of an AM fungus (Funneliformis mosseae) on growth, antioxidant enzyme (catalase, CAT; superoxide dismutase, SOD) activities, ...

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is generally considered effective in improving salt tolerance plants; however, the advantages it offers can vary greatly depending on context which occurs; furthermore, mechanisms underlying these responses are still unclear. A study was conducted to investigate role of nitrogen (N) availability effectiveness AM durum wheat (Triticum Desf.) plants grown...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are soil-borne fungi belonging to the ancient phylum Glomeromycota and are important symbionts of the arbuscular mycorrhiza, enhancing plant nutrient acquisition and resistance to various abiotic stresses. In contrast to their significant physiological implications, the molecular basis involved is poorly understood, largely due to their obligate biotrophism and...

Soil arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots and produce many benefits on host plants under potted conditions, while field inoculation of AM citrus (a woody plant) has been rarely reported. The present study aimed to analyze the changes in growth, root vitality, fruit quality Citrus reticulata Blanco var. Ponkan mandarin cv. Jinshuigan grafted Poncirus tr...

Adaptive management of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) provides a new option for sustainable agriculture. Previous studies showed that the functional role AMF was frequently dependent on soil moisture and planting densities in semiarid environment. However, systematic quantitative analysis effects inoculation crop productivity quality needs to be investigated. Therefore, 2-year field experim...
