Arsenic (As) in soils causes several detrimental effects, including death. Arsenic toxicity in soybean plants (Glycine max L.) has been little studied. Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) increase the tolerance of host plants to abiotic stress, like As. We investigated the effects of AM fungi on soybean grown in As-contaminated soils. A pot experiment was carried out in a glasshouse, at random with five...

The presence and composition of soil microbial communities has been shown to have a large impact on plant-plant interactions and consequently plant diversity and composition. The goal of the present study was to evaluate impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which constitutes an essential link between the soil and the plant's roots. A greenhouse pot experime...

Adapting plantlets to ex vitro conditions is a decisive step in the micropropagation process via organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis (ES). The percentage of success this stage determines quality product, an example which found cocoa regenerated by ES, require specific overcome stress new environment. Considering largely survival and growth conditions, effect two culture media between embryo ...

The effect of four different levels of irrigation periods, including normal irrigation, irrigation after 100, 150, and 200mm evaporation, with three different bio-fertilizer including control, Mycorrhiza, and Rhizobium were investigated on morphological and yield traits of guar. The experiment was conduct in form of split-plot design with irrigation periods as main plots and bio-fertilizers as ...

thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) is perennial aromatic shrub belonging to the mint family which has anti-spasmodic, antiseptic, carminative, anti-cough, sputum and antioxidant properties. in order to study the effects of drought stress and bio-fertilizer on plant growth, essential oil yield and constituents of thyme plant, an experiment was conducted in a split plot based on randomized complete block...

Biological agents are critical in the management of major diseases oil palm plantations. The potential arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma spp. to control basal stem rot disease was investigated this study. Three-month-old seedlings treated with AMF since beginning planting demonstrated colonization roots. With a 25 gram treatment main nursery, increased by 85.99% TBM-1 (the 1-yea...

Oidiodendron maius G.L. Barron is a recognized fungal species capable of forming ericoid mycorrhiza with various positive effects on host plants; therefore, newly found and previously uncharacterized O. strains may be valuable for heather plants’ controlled mycorrhization. Characteristics the F3860 strain were studied, i.e., mycelium growth nutrient media ability to secrete auxins enzymes. grew...

Pests and diseases cause significant yield losses in coffee cultivation Indonesia. In particular, Pratylenchus coffeae is the most common nematode Indonesia known to harm plants. dealing with threat of P. coffeae, mycorrhiza used as a biological agent increase growth plants well control nematode. This experiment was conducted determine formulation agents form mycorrhizae enriched mycorrhizal he...
