The aim of the present study was to analyze effects two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Funneliformis mosseae and Paraglomus occultum, on leaf water status, root morphology, sugar accumulation, abscisic acid (ABA) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, antioxidant enzyme activities in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) exposed well-watered (WW) drought stress (DS) conditions. results showed...

background and objectives: one of the most important limiting factors of crop growth in the arid and semi-arid regions, is water deficit stress. mycorrhizal fungi are one of the most important microorganisms in the rhizosphere. the effects of these fungi apply via changes on some of the characteristics of roots and nutrient uptake in host plants in drought conditions. however, symbiotic mycorrh...

seed inoculation by means of mycorrhizal fungi can alleviate the side-effects of fungicides on production of crops and their yields. an experiment was conducted in 2009 at the research field of islamic azad university, faculty of agriculture, mahdasht, karaj. in order to investigate the influence of different kinds of fungicides on colonization of mycorrhizal species and on grain yield in soybe...

There is nowadays no single fully satisfactory method for VOC removal from indoor air due to the difficulties linked to the very low concentration (microg m(-3) range), diversity, and variability at which VOCs are typically found in the indoor environment. Although biological methods have shown a certain potential for this purpose, the specific characteristic of indoor air and the indoor air en...

Cd-tolerant bacterial strains of fluorescent pseudomonads, mostly belonging to Pseudomonas monteillii, were isolated from termite mound soil (Macrotermes subhyalinus, a litter-forager and fungus-growing termite), in a Sudanese shrubby savanna, Burkina Faso. Such large mounds appeared as sites of great bacterial diversity and could be considered as hot spots of metal-tolerant fluorescent pseudom...

The production of maize has significant nutrient needs, notably for nitrogen. Considering the negative impact chemical fertilizer on ecosystem, alternative supply nutrients that is easily accessible and environmentally benign must be sourced. This study looked into effects inoculating mycorrhizae diazotrophs growth biomass output maize. treatments included three (3) levels mycorrhiza (without m...
