one of the method to clean up contaminated soil is growing a hyper accumulator plant which is named phytoremediation. some of  hyper accumulator plants are proper host for mycorrhizal fungi.in this relationship, fungus, consume a part of organic carbon from the plant and by developing its mycelium network help plant to uptake more mineral nutrients from the soil. by doing a greenhouse research ...

Members of the Brassicaceae are generally believed to be non-mycorrhizal. Pennycress (Thlaspi) species of this family from diverse locations in Slovenia, Austria, Italy and Germany were examined for their colonisation by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Meadow species (T. praecox, T. caerulescens and T. montanum) were sparsely but distinctly colonised, as indicated by the occurrence of intra...

Plants commonly live in a symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). They invest photosynthetic products to feed their fungal partners, which, in return, provide mineral nutrients foraged in the soil by their intricate hyphal networks. Intriguingly, AMF can link neighboring plants, forming common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs). What are the terms of trade in such CMNs between p...

in order to study the consequences of the application of mycorrhiza and azospirillum inoculants on yield and yield components of wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the research station of shahid chamran university of ahvaz, iran in 2012-13. the experimental design was factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the treatments including of mycorrhiz...

Potato microplants were inoculated with three commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculants, Vaminoc (MicroBio, Hemel Hempstead, HP2 7SU, UK), Endorize IV and Glomus intraradices (both produced by Societe Biorize, 21000 Dijon, France) at establishment in the glasshouse. Monitoring of percentage root length colonization confirmed the persistence of all the mycorrhizal fungi during the trial. Colo...

We investigated element accumulation in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Fungal spores and mycelia growing in monoxenic cultures were analyzed. The elemental composition was quantified using particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) in combination with scanning transmission ion microscopy. In the spores, Ca and Fe were associated mainly with the spore wall, while P and K show...

Symbiosis involves responses that maintain the plant host and symbiotic partner's genetic program; yet these cues are far from elucidated. Here we describe the effects of lumichrome, a flavin identified from Rhizobium spp., applied to lotus (Lotus japonicus) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Combined transcriptional and metabolite analyses suggest that both species shared common pathways that ...

Four cereals, Hordeum vulgare (barley), Triticum aestivum (wheat), Secale cereale (rye), and Avena safiva (oat), were grown in a defined nutritional medium with and without the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Levels of soluble and cell wall-bound secondary metabolites in the roots of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants were determined by high-performance liquid chromatograp...

Different species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) alter plant growth and affect plant coexistence and diversity. Effects of within-AMF species or within-population variation on plant growth have received less attention. High genetic variation exists within AMF populations. However, it is unknown whether genetic variation contributes to differences in plant growth. In our study, a populati...
