In this study, we examined arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community structure colonizing field-cultivated ginseng roots according of different ages, such as 1- to 5-year-old plant, collected from Geumsan-gun, Korea. A total of seven AMF species namely, Funnelliformis caledonium, F. moseae, Gigaspora margarita, Paraglomus laccatum, P. occultum, Rhizophagus irregularis, and Scutellospora het...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important fiber cash crop, but its root traits, including mycorrhizal related to phosphorus (P) acquisition have been poorly understood. Eight cotton varieties bred in northwestern China that were released between 1950 and 2013 grown pots with or without one arbuscular fungal (AMF) species (Funneliformis mosseae) at three P supply levels (0, 50 300 mg as KH2...

Drought is one of the most important factors worldwide, which limits crop production, especially in semi-arid areas. The use beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may represent an eco-friendly and biological technique to increase crops yields ensure food security. purpose this paper was evaluate effect AMF inoculation on a promised variety hulless barley (Hordeum ...

The response of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) to arbuscular micorrizal fungi (AM) species Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. Viciae, strain D293 regarding growth, nodulation and nitrogen fixing activity was studied. Pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) were grown in a glasshouse until flowering stage (35 days) in 4 kg plastic pots using leached cinnamonic for...

the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of individual and co-inoculation of trichoderma species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) on growth, mycorrhization, population of trichoderma, and wilt disease severity in pigeon pea (cajanus cajan l millsp). three species of trichoderma, namely, t. harzianum (th), t. virens (tr), and t. viride (tv) and consortium of amf (myc; mixture...

Elicitors of biological origin, especially those that are able to control plant pathogens by induction of plant systemic resistance are being intensively investigated because of their great potential for crop protection and environmental compatibility. Since the range of induced defense responses can depend on the elicitor used, the plant treated and the target pathogen, a detailed study of the...

We studied the production of xyloglucanase enzymes of leguminous roots in the presence of Rhizobium and arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The AM fungus Glomus mosseae and Sinorhizobium meliloti GR4 for alfalfa, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae Rlv 13 for pea, R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii 2152 for clover, R. tropici CIAT 899 for bean and Mesorrhizobium mediterraneum USDA 3392 for chickpea. Th...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of phytoremediation on soils contaminated with heavy crude oil using plants infected by mycorrhizal fungi. Five plant species, Vetiveria zizanioides, Bidens pilosa, Chloris barbata, Eleusine indica, and Imperata cylindrica, infected with the species of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae, were selected for this study. The degradation of total...

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses affecting plant growth, yield and crop production around the world. It is believed that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are used for protecting plants against drought damage.Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in recent years to cope with water stress in many plants. In this study, the relationship between water d...
