In order to evaluate the Effects of dual inoculation of Azotobacter and Mycorrhiza with Nitrogen and Phosphorus levels on yield and yield components of spring safflower, this study was carried out in field of Farahan university in Markazi province in 2007. A factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications was used inoculation of Azotobacter (with inoculation and without ...

Studies on Rhizobium-legume symbiosis show that trehalose content in nodules under drought stress correlates positively with an increase in plant tolerance to this stress. Fewer reports describe trehalose accumulation in mycorrhiza where, in contrast with rhizobia, there is no flux of carbohydrates from the microsymbiont to the plant. However, the trehalose dynamics in the Mycorrhiza-Rhizobium-...

Mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) are known to increase host root colonization by mycorrhizal fungi but the molecular mechanisms and potential tripartite interactions are poorly understood. Through an effort to study Populus microbiome, we isolated 21 Pseudomonas strains from native Populus deltoides roots. These bacterial isolates were characterized and screened for MHB effectiveness on the Pop...

Application of mycorrhiza-biofertilizer and intercropping with legume crops could improve performance yield red-rice grown onraised-beds under aerobic irrigation systems, but weeds became a serious problem, which needs more frequent weeding. A Split Split-Plot (SSP) experiment was designed to examine synergistic effects rice-straw mulch application on yieldof several black rice promising-lines ...

speaking, do not have roots, rather they form mycorrhiza. There are seven principle types of mycorrhiza. The two most important mycorrhizas are the endomycorrhiza and ectomycorrhiza. Endomycorrhiza typically colonize herbaceous plants, shrubs, many ornamental, fruit and nut trees, vegetables and agronomic crops, and turf grasses. More than 85% of higher plants form endomycorrhizal associations....

The occurrence of mycorrhiza in 40 selected medicinal plants was studied. The percentage of mycorrhizal colonization in each of the plant was calculated. The colonization was found to be very less in four plants and very high in six plants. All others showed a moderate level of colonization. The present work suggests the use of mycorrhiza as a biofertilizer to enhance the growth and yield of me...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate different compost mixtures as peat substitutes, and the effect of Trichoderma and mycorrhiza fungi application on transplants quality. Seeds of commercial lettuce (Lactim sativa L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea), a nonmycotrophic plant were sown in 'Speedling' trays. Plant growth response was determined in four weeks old seedlings (commercial transpl...

In recent years, the addition of microorganisms such as Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) and mycorrhiza are becoming more popular, both in research as well as in practical use. While inoculants are usually not necessary for plants cultivated outdoors on biologically active soil, they can be useful on sterile substrates, newly created artificial landscapes, and also in soils that have been...

The majority of land plants live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from the phylum Glomeromycota. This symbiosis improves acquisition of phosphorus (P) by the host plant in exchange for carbohydrates, especially under low-P availability. The symbiosome, constituted by root cortex cells accommodating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal hyphae, is the site at which bi-directional exchange ...

Honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea), also known as "haskap" in Japan, is a shrub that produces edible berries and inhabits mountainous wetland areas with harsh environments. In this study, we surveyed the relationship between honeysuckle root endophytic fungi. Root samples were collected from wet land region Hokkaido, subjected to microscopic observation fungal strain isolation. Totally 47 strains ...
