The study evaluated the response of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) species Glomus intraradices and Sinorhizobium meliloti, strain 1021 regarding the dry biomass accumulation, mycorrhizal fungi colonization, nodulation and nitrogen fixation activity. Alfalfa plants were grown in a glasshouse until the flowering stage (58 days), in 4 kg plastic pots using leached...

The relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and their associated bacteriacan be has great importance for sustainable agriculture especially in the case of highlymycorrhizal plants such as linseed. To evaluate the possible effect of AMF in association withphosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on linseed plants, a 2-yr factorial experiment wasconducted based on a randomized comple...

introduction: soil contaminations with heavy metals represent a potential risk to the biosphere and leads to increased concentration in ground and surface water. therefore metals mobility in soil has been extensively studied in the last decades. use of agrochemicals such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides has resulted in soil and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. cadmium is a heav...

Aboveground plant performance is strongly influenced by belowground microorganisms, some of which are pathogenic and have negative effects, while others, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, usually have positive effects. Recent research revealed that belowground interactions between plants and functionally distinct groups of microorganisms cascade up to abovegroun...

To study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on growth and essential oil content of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), the present work was conducted in 2012-2013 at the experimental field of Alborz Research Station of the Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran. The experiment was conducted in factorial in the form of a randomized complete block design wit...

Mycorrhizas are the chief organ for plant mineral nutrient acquisition. In temperate, mixed forests, ash roots (Fraxinus excelsior) are colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) and beech roots (Fagus sylvatica) by ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcM). Knowledge on the functions of different mycorrhizal species that coexist in the same environment is scarce. The concentrations of nutrient elements ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are associated with almost all plants in nature and are ubiquitous. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi status of 10 wild herb and shrub was investigated during winter and summer season in Pine forest of himalaya(HP). The herbs and shrubs investigated for studied are: Reinwardtia indica, Berberis lycium, Viola serpens,Taraxacum officinale, Caryopteris wallichiana...

This research aims to evaluate the effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in improving resilience cashew seedlings water deficit and soil nutritional status. The split-plot experimental design was used. treatments consist two factors, two-level regime (30% useful reserve 70% reserve) main plots three-level inoculation (no inoculation, Glomus mosseae aggregatum) subplots. Each treatment is...

Attachment of certain bacteria to living arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal extraradical hyphae may be an important prerequisite for interactions between these microorganisms, with implications for nutrient supply and plant health. The attachment of five different strains of gfp-tagged soil bacteria (Paenibacillus brasilensis PB177 (pnf8), Bacillus cereus VA1 (pnf8), Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25<gf...

Abstrak. Tanaman nilam (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) termasuk tanaman herba yang menghasilkan minyak atsiri. Tujuan penelitian yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis mikoriza dan varietas terhadap pertumbuhan hasil pada tanah entisol serta interaksi antara kedua faktor tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok, pola faktorial 3 x 2 dengan ulangan, hingga terdapat 6 kombinasi perl...
