Endomycorrhizal fungi are spora-carrying organisms that can survive in heavy metalcontaminated environments. The goal of this study was to investigate endomycorrhizal from metal-affected areas and determine an effective mix organic culture media increase the number diameter spores. In Sorowako, Indonesia, were isolated rhizosphere of: rice husk charcoal, sand, zeolite (KM1); sawdust (KM2); coco...

This study was conducted to compare the effect of selected arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi genera and their application rates for enhanced Calliandra growth in Uganda. The performance of Calliandra under different types and rates of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi inoculation was assessed in the greenhouse using sterilized Mabira soils. Four dominant genera were isolated from the rhizosphere of sorghum...

• Since mycorrhizal fungi constitute an important component of the soil–plant interface, their responses to changes in nutrient availability may mediate shifts in ecosystem function. We tested the hypothesis that initial soil nutrient availability may determine effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions on the growth and community of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. • Extraradical h...

In the Northeast of Brazil, expansion of guava crops has been impaired by Meloidogyne enterolobii that causes root galls, leaf fall and plant death. Considering the fact that arbuscular mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) improve plant growth giving protection against damages by plant pathogens, this work was carried out to select AMF efficient to increase production of guava seedlings and their tolerance ...

Although plant adaptation to serpentine soils has been studied for several decades, the mechanisms of plant adaptation to edaphic extremes are still poorly understood. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are common root symbionts that can increase the plant hosts' establishment and growth in stressful environments. However, little is known about the role plant-AMF interactions play in plant adap...

Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskula (FMA) mempunyai peran aktif dalam membantu pertumbuhan tanaman. Akar tanaman yang terinfeksi FMA akan memiliki kemampuan penyerapan unsur hara dan air dari tanah lebih baik. juga berperan menangkal serangan penyakit pada Keanekaragaman karakteristik menginfeksi beberapa tegakan pohon di Hutan Pendidikan Anggori belum pernah dilaporkan, padahal informasi demikian penting...

Due to the important role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in ecosystem functioning, determination of the effect of management practices on the AMF diversity in agricultural soils is essential for the sustainability of these agro-ecosystems. The objective of this study was to compare the AMF diversity in Prunus persica roots under two types of fertilisation (inorganic, with or without manu...

High copper (Cu) levels in uprooted old vineyard soils may cause toxicity in transplanted young vines, although such toxicity may be reduced by inoculating plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of AMF on the plant growth, chlorophyll contents, mycorrhizal colonization, and Cu and phosphorus (P) absorption in young vines cultivate...
