Response of Cabbage Seedlings to Different Sources of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza

PERFORMANCES OF DIFFERENT SOURCES OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA ON TOMATO (Lycopersicon esculentum) SEEDLINGS

An experiment on the effect of different sources of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi on tomato seedlings (var. Roma VF) was conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during rabi 2007-08 and 2008-09. Eight sources of AM fungi viz., AM-01 (Jessore), AM-02 (Rahmatpur), AM-03 (Joydebpur), AM-04 (Ullapara), AM-05 (Jamalpur), AM-06 (Hathazari), AM-07 (Ishurdi), and AM-08 (R...

Plant 9-lox oxylipin metabolism in response to arbuscular mycorrhiza.

The establishment of an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal symbiotic interaction (MA) is a successful strategy to substantially promote plant growth, development and fitness. Numerous studies have supported the hypothesis that plant hormones play an important role in the recognition and establishment of symbiosis. Particular attention has been devoted to jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivates, the jasmonates...

EFFECT OF RATE OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA INOCULUM ON TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum) SEEDLINGS

An experiment on the effect of rate of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) inoculum on tomato seedlings was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh for two consecutive years. Seven rates of AM inoculum viz., 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 kg/m were tested. Cowdung was used at a rate of 5 kg/m. Seeds were sown in 10 cm apart lines on 13 November 2007 a...

Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Influence Growth but Not Mineral Concentrations in Seedlings of Eight Sweetgum Families

Arbuscular mycorrhiza infection enhances the growth response of Lolium perenne to elevated atmospheric pCO(2).

Elevated atmospheric pCO(2) increases the C-availability for plants and thus leads to a comparable increase in plant biomass production and nutrient demand. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered to play an important role in the nutrient uptake of plants as well as to be a significant C-sink. Therefore, an increased colonization of plant roots by AMF is expected under elevated atmosp...
