The presence of actinorhizas and arbuscular mycorrhizas may reduce plant stresses caused by adverse soil conditions. A greenhouse experiment was conducted using a sediment with a high pH, resulting from the disposal of waste originated at an acetylene and polyvinylchloride factory, in which Black alder (Alnus glutinosa) seedlings were inoculated either with Glomus intraradices BEG163 (originall...

this study was performed for evaluation of the qualitative traits of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) as affected by azotobacter and mycorrhizal symbiosis (host plant root symbiosis with the glomus fungi) as factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of college of arak islamic azad university during growing season of 2011-2012. tre...

to understand the relationship between natural physicochemical properties of soil and abundance of citrus root nematode (tylenchulus semipenetrans), a survey was conducted during 2009-2010 in some 37 citrus orchards, in kohgilouyeh va boyerahmad province, iran. distribution of the citrus nematode was determined by collecting random samples from the soil and citrus plant roots, extracting and en...

salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic factors that restrict the growth and yield of many plants. salinity can increasingly influence the host susceptibility, occurrence and development of plant diseases due to its negative effects on the host plants. mycorrhizal fungi are able to increase the tolerance of some plants to salinity. in this study, the biological effects of glomus mo...

An interaction study was performed with mycorrhizal plants of the grapevine rootstock Richter 110 (Vitis berlandieri Planch × Vitis rupestris Scheele) and the root pathogenic fungus Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr.) P. Kumm using an autotrophic in vitro culture system. Micropropagated plantlets were transferred to Petri plates with MSR medium lacking sugar and vitamins. Inocula of Glomus intraradice...

the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) was isolated from olive groves showing disease symptoms in toshan area of southern gorgan city. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and following identification it was propagated on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars, zard, roghani, koroneiki and manzani...
