Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. is an important medicinal plant belonging to the family Rhamnaceae. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the leaf extract of Ziziphus mauritiana revealed presence of different types of secondary metabolites such as glycosides, tannins, phenols and saponins. The methanol leaf extracts of Ziziphus mauritiana showed significant activity against Staphylococcus aureusand E...

Photosynthate partitioning was examined in seedings of sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and Carrizo citrange (Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf. x C. sinensis [L.] Osbeck) grown with split root systems inoculated on one side with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith). Source-sink relations were studied without mitigating differences in mineral content or ph...

We studied the influence of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) on the vacuolar storage pool of nitrogen-containing compounds and on the glycogen pool in the hyphal sheath of Amanita muscaria (L. ex Fr.) Hooker-Picea abies L. Karst. mycorrhizae grown with two concentrations of ammonium in the substrate. Mycorrhizal seedlings were grown in petri dishes on agar containing 5.3 or 53 mg ...

• Mycorrhizal mycelia can connect trees and seedlings. Carbon nutrients be transported through the mycelium. Trees may potentially nourish their offspring via mycelial interconnections. Severing of connections improves seedling growth in boreal forests. Conflicting evidence calls for more experimental work field.

Abstract Over the past several years, greener fabrication of metal oxide nanoparticles has attracted significant attention due to their simplicity, eco-friendliness, availability, and nontoxicity. This paper focused on nickel (NiO-NPs) using leaf extract Ziziphus spina-christi L. evaluating its potential biological activities. The characterization synthesized NiO-NPs was confirmed ultraviolet–v...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) substrates in production Samanea saman (rain tree) seedlings. Three three treatments were combined a randomized block design six repetitions. Sewage Sludge substrate favored symbiosis AMF (promoting twelve times more sporulation), while Commercia...

Eight hardwood species were grown in fumigated soil without vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) or in soil infested with a mixture of Glomus mosseae and Glomus etunicatus. Three fertilizer treatments of 140, 560, and 1,120 kg/ha of 10-10-10 fertilizer were established in combination with the two mycorrhizal treatments. Ten equal applications of NH4NO3, totaling 1,680 kg/ha, were added to all...

In order to obtain an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) native inoculum from Sierra de Moa and determine the most appropriate conditions for its big scale production, four light and temperature combinations were tested in three plant species (Calophyllum antillanum, Talipariti elatum and Paspalum notatum). Growth and development parameters, as well as the mycorrhizal functioning of the seedlin...
