A study was performed to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal inoculation, using a locally isolated Claroideoglomus claroideum (Gc) ecotype, on the seedling development of chilean pepper plants, and to select an appropriate growth substrate. The first experiment consisted of two stages: (i) a seedling production stage of pepper plants were germinated and grown, inoculated ...

Physalis peruviana L. is one of the most favorable tropical fruit due to its fast growth and nutritional properties. The current research outlined response drought stress golden berry plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Claroideoglomus claroideum propagated in vitro as well from seeds. implementation symbiosis was determined by root colonization, glomalin content, alkaline acid ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) play major roles in ecosystem functioning such as carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, and plant growth promotion. It is important to know how this ecologically important soil microbial player is affected by soil abiotic factors particularly heavy metal and metalloid (HMM). The objective of this study was to understand the impact of soil HMM concentration o...

Climate change prediction indicates an increased likelihood of precipitation variability and droughts in the Mediterranean region. Previous studies demonstrated that microbial symbionts combined with supplementary irrigation could mitigate climate effects boost chickpea production low-fertility soils. The aim study was to assess inoculation a consortium plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGP...

The aim of the study was to investigate species diversity AM fungi in different parts North Caucasus, biodiversity hotspot, center world’s biological diversity. Samples were taken from 5 locations (stationary trial plots, STPs) ecosystems and at various altitudes. Identification performed using sequencing for ITS1 ITS2 regions, amplified with universal primers, Illumina MiSeq employed. 19 gener...

Soil receptivity to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi tests the capacity of a soil to favour the mycorrhizal development after inoculation. Thus, receptivity is a key criterion to assess whether the introduction of non-indigenous AM fungi will successfully improve plant growth. Two experiments were set up to investigate the receptivity of a moderately acidic wheat-growing soil of the Argentinea...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are able to increase root enzymatic activity of acid and alkaline phosphatases. However, the role of AMF on phosphatase activity has not been reported in papaya (Carica papaya L.), which is frequently established at places with soil phosphorus (P) deficiencies. The goals of this research were to determine the effect of Glomus claroideum (Gc), and plant growth ...
