Abstract Claviceps purpurea causing ergot maintains to be a problem in commercial cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS)-based hybrid rye growing. The fungal spores compete with pollen during flowering and incidence is reduced highly pollen-shedding stands. This study was carried out identify maternal differences infection the absence of pollen. Ten male-sterile single crosses were tested by needle spr...

Abstract Understanding how nutrient requirements of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) affect symbiotic germination is essential for the ex situ conservation threatened orchids and their symbioses. Yet influence isolate-level variation in OMF preferences on unknown. We tested Prasophyllum frenchii (Orchidaceae) 15 different media varying carbon macronutrient compositions with three Ceratobasidium i...

Symbiotic seed germination for conservation and cultivation of orchids holds colossal merit asmycorrhizal fungus in its system improves their growth adaptability. activity ishighly specific some species, but other cases the same from one species is effective aseries related species. The present work describes inter-specific three fungal isolatesfrom seedling root Vanda thwaitesii to support V.w...
