Land-use change and specifically a in the type of vegetation cover affects soil morphology, chemistry, biology, nutrient regimes. Numerous studies have documented that land-use conversions from agricultural land to forest, or plantations restored natural savanna most attributes functions undergo changes. The purpose present study was evaluate changes brought about by afforestation degraded crop...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutualistic plant-fungus interaction that confers great advantages for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enter the host root and form symbiotic structures that facilitate nutrient supplies between the symbionts. The gibberellins (GAs) are phytohormones known to inhibit AM fungal infection. However, our transcriptome analysis and phytohormone quantificati...

Glomalean fungi induce and colonize symbiotic tissue called arbuscular mycorrhiza on the roots of most land plants. Other fungi also colonize plants but cause disease not symbiosis. Whole-transcriptome analysis using a custom-designed Affymetrix Gene-Chip and confirmation with real-time RT-PCR revealed 224 genes affected during arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. We compared these transcription p...

Biofertilizers, such as arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and seaweed extract (SWE), have been effective in environmental agricultural ecosystems. In this study, the effects of AMF, SWE, their co-application were assayed on growth antioxidant potential lettuce plants. The experiment was conducted a factorial based completely randomized design with two factors four replications under greenhouse ...

in order to evaluate the response of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the isabgol (plantago ovata frosk.) medicinal plant to separate and combined application of urea and biofertilizer an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2011. the experimental treatments consisted of control (no urea and biological fer...
