an experiment was conducted, using two year old kinnow plants, budded on rough lemon rootstock, inoculated with different isolates of amf fungi viz., glomus manihotis, gigaspora gigantean and glomus mosseae singly as well as in mixed culture. five primers vans1, ns61,ns21,vaglo,vagiga specific to glomus and gigaspora species were designed and used in a polymerase chain reaction with dna extract...

potato is one of the most productive crops in agriculture and is a valuable food source in developing countries. mycorrhizal fungi involve a symbiosis with most of crop roots and leads to improve the crops growth and yield. in order to investigate the effect of mycorrhiza fungi species on yield of potato cultivars a factorial experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with ei...

fifty six holstein lactating cows (71 days in milk; 35 kg/day milk production) were employed in a complete block randomized design of repeated measurements. cows were randomly allocated to two treatments based on their parity. cows in group 1 were fed a balanced total mixed ration (600 g concentrate /kg dm and 400 g forages /kg dm) with 50 g rumen protected methionine (rpm) per head per day (me...

The efficacy of commercial microbial treatment on plant growth, nutrient uptake and yield is very well recognized for medicinal plants grown in field conditions. However, the use native microbes Cymbopogon citratus has rarely been exploited under Therefore, present study we evaluated single arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species (AMF) to mixture plus growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) morphologica...

with the aim to examine lead tolerance of populus nigra (clone 62/154) in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, a greenhouse experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete scheme with two factors 1) fungal inoculation in 4 levels (control, inoculation with glomus mosseae, inoculation with g. intraradices and inoculation with g. mosseae + g. intraradices) and 2) lead in 4 l...

Soil arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots and produce many benefits on host plants under potted conditions, while field inoculation of AM citrus (a woody plant) has been rarely reported. The present study aimed to analyze the changes in growth, root vitality, fruit quality Citrus reticulata Blanco var. Ponkan mandarin cv. Jinshuigan grafted Poncirus tr...

The colonisation intensity and composition of the mycorrhizal community in the aquatic plants Lobelia dortmanna and Littorella uniflora were studied. The mycorrhizal fungi were characterised by fungal specific nested PCR and sequencing using the 5'-end of the LSU rDNA as target. For this, primers for the clade of Acaulospora, the clade including Glomus mosseae and G. intraradices and the clade ...
