Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici causes take-all disease, the most important root disease of cereal plants. Cereal plants are able to form a symbiotic association with soil-borne arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi which can provide bioprotection against soil-borne fungal pathogens. However, the bioprotective effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi against soil-borne fungal pathogens might vary. In...

We compared root system morphogenesis of micropropogated transplants of Prunus cerasifera L. inoculated with either of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Glomus mosseae or Glomus intraradices or with the ericoid mycorrhizal species Hymenoscyphus ericae. All plants were grown in sand culture, irrigated with a nutrient solution that included a soluble source of phosphorus, for 75 days after tr...

tissue culture is one of the common methods for propagation of apple clones. however, low survival and poor growth of these plants, after transplanting, limit the widespread use of this technique. the success rate of this method can be increased by using bioagents such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf). in this study, effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis and culture media on growth and establish...

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...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen concentration of berseem clover were examined in contaminated soil with cadmium. examined factors included: levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation ( glomus mosseae ) (with and without inoculation), and different levels of soil contamination by cadmium (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg.kg-1). the results showed that the effects of cad...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotype Flamingo was inoculated with Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 and Glomus intraradices by mycorrhizal inoculant or by contact with mycorrhized Stylosanthes guianensis and grown under sufficient versus deficient phosphorus supply after transfer from initial sand culture, for comparing the effects of double inoculation (by contact or by inoculant) on growth, n...

one of the strategies for improving the quality of agricultural products is using bio-fertilizers. so in order to study the effects of mycorrhizal fungi, vermicompost and humic acid on growth characteristics and yield of fennel, an experiment was studied on research farm of agricultural college of shahrood university. this study was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomiz...

The influence of the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices (Gi) and superphosphate (P) on penetration, development, and reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita (Mi) was studied on the Mi-susceptible cotton cultivar Stoneville 213 in an environmental chamber at 28 C. Plants were inoculated with Mi eggs at planting or after 28 days and destructively sampled 7, 14, 21, and 28 d...
