For more than 400 million years, plants have maintained a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This evolutionary success can be traced to the role of these fungi in providing plants with mineral nutrients, particularly phosphate. In return, photosynthates are given to the fungus, which support its obligate biotrophic lifestyle. Although the mechanisms involved in phosph...

background and objectives: one of the most important limiting factors of crop growth in the arid and semi-arid regions, is water deficit stress. mycorrhizal fungi are one of the most important microorganisms in the rhizosphere. the effects of these fungi apply via changes on some of the characteristics of roots and nutrient uptake in host plants in drought conditions. however, symbiotic mycorrh...

in order to investigate the effects of mycorrhiza symbiosis and different nitrogen levels on yield, yield components and essential oil content and yield of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) and ajowan (carum copticum l.), a field experiment was arranged in a factoriel based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of...

nitrogen and phosphorus are two necessary macronutrients for plant growth and yield. these two elements now will be added to soil by chemical fertilizers. this research has been carried out based on randomized completely block design with three replications at markazi provience agricultural research station, iran, during growing season of 2004-2005 to evaluate the effects of azotobacter chrooco...

in order to evaluation the effect of mycorrhiza and azospirillum on some characteristics of wheat cultivars in pitch stage, an experiment was conducted in the research station of shahid chamran university of ahvaz, iran during in 2012-13. the experimental design was factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the treatments including of mycorrhiza fungi in thre...

a factorial experiment based on complete block design was conducted to study the interactive effects of sulfur fertilizer and thiobacillus bacteria on corn growth and root colonization with two species of mycorrhiza fungi. treatments were five levels of sulfur (s0: 0, s1: 50, s2: 100, s3: 150 and s4: 200 mg.kg-1 of dry soil), thiobacillus in two levels [no application (t0) and application of ba...

Legumes form tripartite symbiotic associations with noduleinducing rhizobia and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Co-inoculation of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) roots with Bradyrhizobium japonicum 61-A-101 considerably enhanced colonization by the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae. A similar stimulatory effect on mycorrhizal colonization was also observed in nonnodulating soybean muta...

Effects of the application potassium silicate (PS) and an arbuscular mycorrhiza fungus (AMF) (Glomus mosseae) were investigated on alleviating impacts drought stress Matthiola incana in a split-split-plot experiment two consecutive years. The main plot was assigned to at three levels irrigation (25%, 50%, 70%, field capacity) comparing with control (100% sub-plots AMF (0 200 g fungi pots) sub-s...

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...
