improved pasture establishment in plants, especially in arid and semi-arid is very important application of biological fertilizers in pasture can be considered as a useful approach. that is one of the sources of the symbiotic fungus.. the purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of enhancing seedling establishment and growth rate of bromus kopetdaghensis under natural hab...

background: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) have the potential to optimize the rhizospheric soil characteristics considerably thereby affecting plant growth. objectives: the aim is to investigate the effects of fungi inoculation (glomus intraradices) on morphological, physiological and phytochemical traits of rosemary (rosemarinus officinalis l.) under salt stress. methods: a factorial exper...

tissue culture is one of the common methods for propagation of apple clones. however, low survival and poor growth of these plants, after transplanting, limit the widespread use of this technique. the success rate of this method can be increased by using bioagents such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf). in this study, effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis and culture media on growth and establish...

We propose that mycorrhizal colonization of roots alters nonhydraulic root to shoot communication of soil drying. Split-root rose (Rosa hybrida L. cv Samantha) plants-one side of the root system colonized by Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith, the other side nonmycorrhizal-displayed different stomatal conductances upon partial drying, depending upon whether mycorrhizal or nonmycorrhizal roots ...

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...

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...

Glomus intraradices is a widespread arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), which has been found in an extremely broad range of habitats, indicating a high tolerance for environmental factors and a generalist life history strategy. Despite this ecological versatility, not much is known about the genetic diversity of this fungal species across different habitats or over large geographic scales. A n...

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on growth and phosphorus (P) inflow into two species of clover plant with different root morphology were studied. The experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design consisting of a 2×3×3 factorial combination of two clover species (Trifolium alexandrinum L. and Trifolium pratense L.), three mycorrhiza states (without mycorrhiza, Gl...
