BACKGROUND Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known for their beneficial effects on plants. However, there is increasing evidence that some ruderal plants, including several agricultural weeds, respond negatively to AMF colonization. Here, we investigated the effect of AMF on the growth of individual weed species and on weed-crop interactions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS First, under c...

the effects of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) species (glomus versiforme, claroideoglomus etunicatum and rhizophagus intraradices) were studied on the growth parameters and nutrient uptake of three apple rootstocks (m.9, m.7 and mm.106). the soil medium contained a high level of calcium carbonate (38.65%). the results showed that amf inoculation could increase almost all growth parame...

Salinity is a major problem that seriously impacts agricultural production, particularly of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). However, the plant has ability to associate with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi better tolerate salt stress. Thus, thanks extension AMF hyphae, hydromineral nutrition and tolerance excess toxic ions (Na+ Cl-) are optimized. In this context, contribution stress two varietie...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been frequently reported as effective tools for alleviating environmental stresses and promoting plant growth yield. In this study, we aimed to isolate, culture, identify molecular morphological AMF species associated with date palms spontaneous plants present at eight sites in the arid agroecosystem of Drâa-Tafilalet oasis Morocco. We tested capacity col...
