A survey of the natural mycorrhizal potential has been carried out in a representative area of a desertified semiarid ecosystem in the southeast of Spain. Many indigenous plants from the field site were mycorrhizal, including the dominant Anthyllis cytisoides, which had high levels of colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Low numbers of AMF spores were present in the soil, althoug...

Phytophthora-infected plants. These results suggest some diversity in the chitinase activities concerning New chitosanase acidic isoforms have been shown in substrate specificity in mycorrhizal plants. The Glomus mosseae-colonized tomato roots and their possible implications of these observations in the induction, together with the previously described functioning of the symbiosis is discussed....

the study was designed to evaluate the impact of rhizobium bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi and iron sulfate was performed on chickpea plants. treatments rhizobium bacteria (inoculated and non-inoculated), mycorrhizal fungi (glomus mosseae, glomus intraradices and non-inoculated) and various amounts of iron sulfate fertilizer (0, 40 and 80 kg per hectare) with a factorial experiment in a randomiz...

ABSTRACT-Water stress is the main cause for crop yield reduction in the majority of agricultural regions of the world because it affects almost all plant functions. The effects of Glomus mosseae on growth, nutrients uptake, and antioxidant enzymes of sour orange (Citrus aurantium) and rough lemon) Citrus jambheri) rootstocks were assessed in sterilized soil under greenhouse conditions.  A three...

the morphological diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) at the anguran zn and pb mining region (zanjan province, iran) were studied along a transect from the mine to 4500 m away. within each plot, a composite sample of root and rhizospheric soil from a dominant indigenous plant was collected. the soil samples were analyzed for their physico-chemical characteristics. spores were extrac...
