this study in order to evaluate the possibility of improving the root growth of lentil with use mycorrhiza symbiosis with cooperation azospirillum bacteria under rainfed conditions was conducted. a tri-factorial experiment was organized on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replicates, in which factor m was the mycorrhizal inoculums in three levels including (not use, use m...

in order to investigate the physical and chemical properties of some iranian soils under common bean cultivation, forty-one soil samples were collected from azna, zanjan, aligoudarz and khomein regions. root colonization percentage, spore number and infection potentional of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soils were evaluated after sorghum cultivation. the results showed that the soils had a wi...

Mycorrhizal association in seven plants grown in Arasbaran forest located in the north west of Iran was investigated. The soil samples were collected from the plants rhizosphere. Physico-chemical properties of rhizosphere soils like soil texture, pH, EC and some extractable nutrients such as N, P and K were recorded. The number of spores in rhizosphere and percentage of root mycorrhizal coloniz...

The effect of flavonoids isolated from arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonized and noncolonized clover roots on the number of entry points and percentage of root colonization of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) by Gigaspora rosea, Gi margarita, Glomus mosseae and G. intrarradices symbionts was determined. With fungi of both genera, a correlation between the number of entry points and the perce...

water deficiency is one of the most important factors for limiting crop yield in arid and semiarid regions. symbiosis with a variety of microorganisms in these regions is one of the modern ecological approaches for sustainable agriculture to reduce damages caused by environmental stresses. symbiotic of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (am) with the roots of crops has shown positive effects on agric...

This study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (Azar2, Darab2, Shiraz, and Falat) inoculated with the fungus Glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the School of Agriculture, Shir...

a factorial experiment based on complete block design was conducted to study the interactive effects of sulfur fertilizer and thiobacillus bacteria on corn growth and root colonization with two species of mycorrhiza fungi. treatments were five levels of sulfur (s0: 0, s1: 50, s2: 100, s3: 150 and s4: 200 mg.kg-1 of dry soil), thiobacillus in two levels [no application (t0) and application of ba...

charcoal rot disease, caused by macrophomina phaseolina has become a restrictive agent for annual crops in iran. the disease incidence reaches up to 90 percent in some infested areas. high air temperature and drought stress associated with this disease, are the main factors for increasing the disease incidence and severity. in order to isolate the pathogenic agents, pieces of infected root and ...

In this study seven plant species were collected from the forest of Arasbaran located in the northwest of Iran. Sampling was conducted in May and August and roots were used for calculating vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization percentage during the same period. Fine roots were separated, washed and put in FAA solution as a fixative. Through the time, root colonization of all plant speci...
