Mycorrhizal fungi may play an important role in protecting plants against arsenic (As) contamination. However, little is known about the direct and indirect involvement of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in detoxification mechanisms. A compartmented pot cultivation system ('cross-pots') is used here to investigate the roles of AMF Glomus mosseae in plant phosphorus (P) and As acquisition by ...

In this study, the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (G. mosseae) and endosymbiont (P. indica) colonized Zea mays were treated with calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaPNPs) and evaluated for their plant growth promotion efficiency. It was observed that CaPNPs in combination with both G. mosseae and P. indica are more potent plant growth promoter than independent combinations of CaPNPs+G. mosseae,...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi on growth and phosphorus (p) inflow into two species of clover plant with different root morphology were studied. the experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design consisting of a 2×3×3 factorial combination of two clover species (trifolium alexandrinum l. and trifolium pratense l.), three mycorrhiza states (without mycorrhiza, gl...

To optimize nursery practices for efficient plant production procedures and to keep up to the ever growing demand of seedlings, identification of the most suitable species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), specific for a given tree species, is clearly a necessary task. Sixty days old seedlings of Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) raised in root trainers were inoculated with six species of ...

plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can inhanced plant growth by increasing nutrient uptake. in order to investigate the effect of pgpr and amf on some morphological parameters, macro (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and micro (iron, zinc and copper) nutrients uptake, percentage of root colonization and some morphological factors of pepp...

in the present study, the effects of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, glomus mosseae andglomus intraradices, alone and in combination, on the growth parameters, chlorophyll and the root-rot disease of pea (pisum sativum) caused by fusarium solani f.sp. pisi were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. eight different treatments in four replications were designed in randomized blocks. compared w...

Abstract Foliar diseases, like powdery mildew, septoria leaf blotch (SLB) and stem rust, affect wheat plants causing severe yield losses. Biofertilizers Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula (NRC2041) Bacillus subtilis Ehrenberg (NRC313) or the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae Tul. & C. (NRC212A) G. fasciculatum (NRC212B) were used for soil treatment followed by foliar spray with Tricho...

cadmium is a heavy metal with a strong adverse effect on crop quality. moreover, it is a mobile element in environment and plants can easily uptake and transfer it to their organs. cadmium can easily enter human and animals food chains and threatens their health. to study the effects of a water soluble polymer and inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi on cadmium uptake of clover grown on contamina...

The application of Pb inhibited the development of mycelia of the saprobe fungi Fusarium concolor and Trichoderma koningii and the hyphal length of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) Glomus mosseae and G. deserticola in vitro. The application to soil of 1500mg kg−1 of Pb decreases the dry weight, total N, P, Mg and Fe concentration and chlorophyll content of the shoot of E. globulus no inocu...
