soil and water salinity are amongst the severe and progressive problems worldwide which affects most cropland areas of iran. using endophytic microorganisms (which are amongst the most important soil microorganisms) to alleviate the detrimental effect of environmental stresses such as salinity is recently globally considered. in order to test the effects of azospirillum strains and fungus pirif...

the effect of seed inoculation by phosphate solubilizing microorganisms on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of maize (zea mays l. sc. 704) was studied in a field experiment. this experiment was conducted in meshkin abad experimental station during 2005. the experiment design consisted of four randomized complete blocks in a split-factorial arrangement. the main-plots regarding simulating water...

this research investigate the potential of rhizobium leguminosarum b.v .phaseoli to improve growth and nutritional status of common bean (akhtar cultivar) at three levels of salinity of s0, s1 and s2 (0, 35 and 70 mm sodium chloride, or 0, 3 and 6 ds/m, respectively). the greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial design in randomized completely with three replications by using the ster...

Robinia pseudoacacia L. (black locust) is a widely planted tree species on Loess Plateau for revegetation. Due to its symbiosis forming capability with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, we explored the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant biomass, root morphology, root tensile strength and soil aggregate stability in a pot experiment. We inoculated R. pseudoacacia with/without AM...

influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) (glomus etunicatum, g. intraradices and glomus versiforme) and external phosphorus supplement (8 and 35 mg p kg-1 soil) on leaf p, zn, cu and fe nutrition of 4-month-old tea(camellia sinensis) was studied in an glass house pot experiment. the highest leaf p concentration (up to 59.43% increase) was found in g. versiforme inoculated seedlings gro...

abstract in this study a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of acc deaminase enzyme on alleviation of salinity stress of canola plant. canola plants were exposed to pseudomonas fluorescens strain p12 which contains a rhizobacter capable of producing pseudomonas fluorescens in comparison with plants exposed to mutant pm12 unable to produce the required enzyme. the mutant wa...

The root-galling index of tomatoes inoculated with Meloidogyne javanica was decreased 70% when collagen was used as a soil amendment (0.1% w/w) and 90% when the amendment was supplemented with the collagenolytic fungus Cunninghamella elegans. The root-galling index was reduced 80% when the fungus was homogenized in collagen culture medium and added to soil without collagen supplement. Culture f...

Drymaria cordata (L.) Willd. ex Roem. & Schult. commonly known as ‘West Indian Chick weed’ is a potential herb used in traditional medicine the treatment of many ailments. The main active principles therapeutically are drymaritin and isovitexin. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) symbiotic associations between plants soil fungi that play vital role plant growth development well quality. In present...

The tripartite symbiosis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) recombinant inbred line (RIL) 147 with rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was assessed in sand culture by comparing the effects of three AMF species on the mycorrhizal root colonization, rhizobial nodulation, plant growth and phosphorus use efficiency for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Although Glomus intraradices well c...
