To investigate nitrogen assimilation and translocation in Zea mays L. colonized by the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus Glomus fasciculatum (Thax. sensu Gerd.), we measured key enzyme activities, 15N incorporation into free amino acids, and 15N translocation from roots to shoots. Glutamine synthetase and nitrate reductase activities were increased in both roots and shoots compared ...

2 Assoc. Prof. of Forestry, University of California, Berkeley. Abstract: This study was conducted on various chaparral sites sampled throughout California in the range of the following species: chamise, Adenostoma fasiculatum; scruboak, Quercus dumosa; and Ceanothus cuneatus, & C. crassifolius. Data for elemental composition, total vegetation and leaf litter weights, and elemental storage weig...

plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can inhanced plant growth by increasing nutrient uptake. in order to investigate the effect of pgpr and amf on some morphological parameters, macro (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and micro (iron, zinc and copper) nutrients uptake, percentage of root colonization and some morphological factors of pepp...
