Trunk girdling can increase carbohydrate content above the girdling site and is an important strategy for inhibiting new shoot growth to promote flowering in cultivated litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). However, girdling inhibits carbohydrate transport to the root in nearly all of the fruit development periods and consequently decreases root absorption. The mechanism through which carbohydrates ...

Agricultural bioinoculants containing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi represent a potential opportunity to reduce the dependence of grapevines ( Vitis ) on agrochemicals. This field study assessed ability four commercial colonize grapevine roots and their effects petiole nutrient concentration, berry composition, root morphology ‘Pinot noir’ vinifera grafted onto rootstock ‘Couderc 3309’ riparia ×...

The aim of this work was to study the colonization of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species in fine-roots of poplar clones. Roots of 7 poplar clones were sampled from a 1-year-old trial established at an industrial site strongly polluted with heavy metals at Balatonfuzfo, Hungary. The poplar clones have shown variable degrees of colonization by AMF, suggesting differential host ...

Symbiotic interaction between plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere is an important factor affecting plant growth fitness. Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi symbiosis increases resistance of to stress factors, including pathogens. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) destructive damaging tomatoes peppers with losses that can reach 100%. It listed on list current quarantine organisms Czech ...

water deficiency is one of the most important factors for limiting crop yield in arid and semiarid regions. symbiosis with a variety of microorganisms in these regions is one of the modern ecological approaches for sustainable agriculture to reduce damages caused by environmental stresses. symbiotic of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (am) with the roots of crops has shown positive effects on agric...

With the advent of next-generation sequencing and microbial community characterization, we are beginning to understand the key factors that shape early-life microbial colonization and associated health outcomes. Studies characterizing infant microbial colonization have focused mostly on bacteria in the microbiome and have largely neglected fungi (the mycobiome), despite their relevance to mucos...

Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil that can promote the growth of their host plants. Accurate quantification AMF in plant roots is important because level colonization often indicative activity these fungi. Root traditionally measured with microscopy methods which visualize fungal structures inside roots. Microscopy labor-intensive, and results depend on observer. In...
