An Innovative Root Inoculation Method to StudyRalstonia solanacearumPathogenicity in Tomato Seedlings

Effects of different seed treatment and inoculation methods of branched broomrape on its parasitism to tomato seedlings

Failure of Root Tips of Tomato Seedlings Germinated from X-rayed Seeds to Grow in Vitro.

Histological studies of roots of Vicia faba and of Zea mays seedlings grown from seeds given a medium dose of soft x-rays, indicate considerable distortion and irregularity about the apical meristem and surrounding tissues after the first week of germination (7, 8). These are not apparent during the early part of germination when the radicles first appear; the meristem is relatively normal in a...

Inoculation of tomato seedlings with Trichoderma Harzianum and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and their effect on growth and control of wilt in tomato seedlings

A green house study was conducted to investigate the ability of an isolate of Trichoderma harzianum (P52) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in enhancing growth and control of a wilt pathogen caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici in tomato seedlings. The plants were grown in plastic pots filled with sterilized soils. There were four treatments applied as follows; P52, AMF, AMF + P...

Hydrogen Peroxide Is Involved in β-Cyclodextrin-hemin Complex-Induced Lateral Root Formation in Tomato Seedlings

Although previous results showed that β-cyclodextrin-hemin complex (β-CDH) could induce tomato lateral root (LR) formation, the corresponding downstream messengers are still not fully understood. In this report, similar to the inducing effects of exogenously applied hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), we discovered that β-CDH elicited RBOH1 transcript upregulation, endogenous H2O2 accumulation, and there...

GLOMUS ETUNICATUM ROOT INOCULATION AND FOLIAR APPLICATION OF ACETYL SALICYLIC ACID INDUCED NACL TOLERANCE BY REGULATION OF NAC1 & LeNHX1 GENE EXPRESSION AND IMPROVED PHOTOSYNTHETIC PERFORMANCE IN TOMATO SEEDLINGS

Salinity stress hampers plant growth and cause significant yield losses thus induction of salinity stress tolerance in crop plants is one of major goals of agriculture research. Arbuscular mycorhizae fungi Glomus etunicatum and acetyl salicylic acid were tested for induction of NaCl stress tolerance in tomato seedlings, cultivar No. 4. The seedlings were inoculated with Glomus etunicatum and ex...
