Many plant species from Brazilian semi-arid present arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in their rhizosphere. These microorganisms play a key role in the establishment, growth, survival of plants and protection against drought, pathogenic fungi and nematodes. This study presents a quantitative analysis of the AMF species associated with Mimosa tenuiflora, an important native plant of the Caating...

The system for production of inoculum of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) using sand and vermiculite irrigated with nutrient solution is promising. However, organic amendments added to the substrate can stimulate sporulation of AMF and replace the nutrient solution. The aim of this study was to maximize the production of AMF (Acaulospora longula, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Dentiscutata heter...

Coffee seedlings are commonly produced on substrate composed of a mixture soil and cattle manure, supplemented with chemical fertilizers. Alternatives to reduce production costs produce greater quality health include the use commercial organic substrates, which require less handling. The beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be considered good alternative for ...

Both earthworms and symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) often co-occurr in ecosystems, however very little is known on their interrelationships. Here we tested to what extent earthworms (Annelida) or AMF (Glomales) separately or in combination affect the growth of the pharmaceutical plant species, pot marigold (Calendula officinalis, Asteraceae). We conducted a greenhouse experiment us...

With its premium wood quality and resistance to pests, teak is a valuable tree species remarkably required for timber trading agroforestry. The nursery stage of plantation needs critical care warrant long-term productivity. This study aimed search beneficial rhizosphere microbes assess their teak-growth-promoting potentials during stock preparation. Three rhizosphere/root-associated microbes, i...

Phytate represents an organic pool of phosphorus in soil that requires hydrolysis by phytase enzymes produced microorganisms prior to its bioavailability plants. We tested the ability a microbial suspension made from old growth maple forest’s undisturbed mineralize phytate greenhouse trial on soybean plants inoculated or non-inoculated with suspension. MiSeq Amplicon sequencing targeting bacter...

Tea plants are sensitive to soil moisture deficit, with the level of water being a critical factor affecting their growth and quality. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve nutrient absorption, but it is not clear whether AMF photosynthetic characteristics tea plants. A potted study was conducted determine effects Claroideoglomus etunicatum on plant growth, leaf status, pigment content...

The argan tree, an endemic species in Morocco, has been exhaustively studied its southwestern range but neglected northeastern territory. Thus, the present study sets as objectives identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and evaluation tree’s roots’ mycorrhization level two stations: one region Béni Snassène (Berkane): Jebel Takermine with 7 prospected sites other at Aklim Alkabir 2 site...

A labilis szén (LOC) tartalom, az active (POXC=permanganát oxidálható szén) mérése a talajok mikrobiális aktivitásának kimutatását szolgáló módszer. Célja növények és mikroorganizmusok számára is elérhető széntartalom megállapítása. Az LOC szerves anyagok egy kis- könnyen része, biomassza szénhidrát molekulák szén-tartalmának mérésével, érzékenyebb talajon végzett beavatkozásokra teljes vagy ös...

Intercropping is a sustainable agroecological tool known to provide multiple benefits farmers. Several studies have shown that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play key role for the improved grain yields in intercropping systems through facilitative nutrient and water uptake via common network (CMN), yet little on rate of hyphal spread. Here we hypothesized AMF species differ extraradical hyp...
