Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a multipurpose food crop that can adapt to climate change. productivity be increased by applying chemical fertilizers and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF). This research aimed assess the effect of AMF application N P concentration gradients support Super 2 KS sorghum accession growth. The plants were grown in sterilized zeolite (coarse fine) inoculated ...

BACKGROUND Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known for their beneficial effects on plants. However, there is increasing evidence that some ruderal plants, including several agricultural weeds, respond negatively to AMF colonization. Here, we investigated the effect of AMF on the growth of individual weed species and on weed-crop interactions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS First, under c...

tissue culture is one of the common methods for propagation of apple clones. however, low survival and poor growth of these plants, after transplanting, limit the widespread use of this technique. the success rate of this method can be increased by using bioagents such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf). in this study, effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis and culture media on growth and establish...

Abstract In order to study the effect of different soil amended and biological fertilizers on accumulation nitrogen phosphorous in wheat grain some physiological morphological characteristics wheat, this experiment was performed as a split factorial arranged randomized block design with 32 treatment three replication for 2 years. The treatments included mycorrhiza inoculation main factor (witho...

in the present study, the effect of two species of amf, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices, alone and in combination, was evaluated on the growth criteria, chlorophyll content, and root rot disease caused by fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, on chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) under greenhouse conditions. chickpea seeds were sown into pots containing 100 g of amf inoculum (more than 1,000 propagule...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities were established in pots using fungal isolates from a single field in Switzerland. It was tested whether multispecies mixtures provided more phosphorus and supported greater plant growth than single AMF species. Two host plants, medic (Medicago truncatula) and leek (Allium porrum), were inoculated with three AMF species (Glomus mosseae, G. claroid...

The establishment of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis results in a modification of the gene expression pattern in both plant and fungus to accomplish the morphological and physiological changes necessary for the bidirectional transfer of nutrients between symbionts. H(+)-ATPase enzymes play a key role establishing the electrochemical gradient required for the transfer of nutrients across th...

Long-term soil mining with extensive cultivation practices and traditional breeding methods have declined the flavor nutritional value of tomatoes. Apart from important mineral nutrients (i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), fungi known as arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) can considerably improve quality agricultural production through higher phosphate uptake. Using hydroponically cultured commer...
