INTRODUCTION OF SOME NEW ARBUSCULAR-MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (AMF) FROM CITRUS RHIZOSPHERE OF IRAN

Symbiosis relationship between some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Salsola laricina and its effect on improving plant growth parameters

The aim of this study was to examine the symbiosis relationshipbetween some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Salsola laricina (Chenopodiaceae), a non-mycotrophic plant speciesand its effect on improving plant growth parameters. Initially, the development of AMF density was monitored through two parameters including evaluation of mycorrhizal colonization of plant roots and density measurem...

شناسایی قارچهای مختلف همزیست (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF به منظور تکثیر و توسعه آنها

امروزه استفاده از سیستم های زراعی کم نهاده و ابداع شیوه های نوین مدیریت بهره برداری از منابع به منظور دستیابی به اهداف کشاورزی پایدار اهمیت ویژه ای پیدا کرده است. همچنین استفاده از کودهای بیولوژیک به منظور کاهش مصرف کودهای شیمیایی و افزایش عملکرد گیاهان یک مساله مهم در جهت حرکت به سمت کشاورزی پایدار است. در این آزمایش نیز به منظور شناسایی قارچ های میکوریزایی (کود بیولوژیک) در...

The Plant – Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi – Bacteria – Pathogen System Multifunctional Role of AMF Spore-Associated Bacteria

NEW RECORDS OF SOME ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI FROM IRAN

Examining dead insects from different locations in Mazandaran, Gilan and TehranProvinces, specimens with fungal outgrowth were selected for further investigations. After isolation and purification of fungi they were identified as follows:Beauveria brongniartii (Sacc.) Petch*On Coccinella septempunctata, Tehran Prov., Varamin, Ghara-Aghaj mountains, M.H. Ghassemi (IRAN 1025 C). Paecilomyces tenu...

Biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agroecosystems

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [AMF] are soil fungi which form a mutualistic symbiosis with the roots of plants. A variety of benefits to the host have been ascribed to mycorrhizae, most often enhanced uptake of immobile nutrients from the soil, notably P. An understanding of the impacts of agronomic practices upon communities of these fungi would help to ensure an opportunity for the utilization...

DNA barcoding of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

SUMMARY *Currently, no official DNA barcode region is defined for the Fungi. The COX1 gene DNA barcode is difficult to apply. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been suggested as a primary barcode candidate, but for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomeromycota) the region is exceptionably variable and does not resolve closely related species. *DNA barcoding analyses were perfo...
