Two years experiment were conducted in 2016-2017 as split-plot based on randomized completely block design with three replications to morpho-physiological responses of Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.) plant mycorrhizal fungi species treatments (control, Rhizophagus intraradices, Funneliformis mosseae, Glomus hoi and combined application all species) under different irrigation regimes (irriga...

Salinization has led to the deterioration of ecological environment, affected growth plants, and hindered development agriculture forestry. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, as important soil microorganisms, play significant physiological roles in promoting plant nutrient absorption improving structure. Puccinellia tenuiflora (Turcz.) Scribn. et Merr. Songnen saline-alkaline grassland was sele...

Soil arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots and produce many benefits on host plants under potted conditions, while field inoculation of AM citrus (a woody plant) has been rarely reported. The present study aimed to analyze the changes in growth, root vitality, fruit quality Citrus reticulata Blanco var. Ponkan mandarin cv. Jinshuigan grafted Poncirus tr...

Mycorrhizal inoculation stimulates growth, photosynthesis and nutrient uptake in a wide range of host plants. However, the ultimate effects of arbuscular mycorrhyzal (AM) symbiosis vary with the plants and fungal species involved in the association. Therefore, identification of the appropriate combinations of AM fungi (AMF) that interact synergistically to improve their benefits is of high sign...

The genome size, complexity, and ploidy of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Glomus intraradices was determined using flow cytometry, reassociation kinetics, and genomic reconstruction. Nuclei of G. intraradices from in vitro culture, were analyzed by flow cytometry. The estimated average length of DNA per nucleus was 14.07+/-3.52 Mb. Reassociation kinetics on G. intraradices DNA indicate...

Belowground interactions between plant roots, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs), and growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve growth yield under abiotic stress conditions. A pot factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted to investigate the effects of AMFs (without inoculation as control, Funneliformis mosseae intraradices) PGPRs c...

Abstract Most species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are propagated with a host plant in pot culture. However, the soil matrix makes it difficult to monitor establishment and development symbiosis. In vitro culturing using Ri T-DNA transformed roots provides clear medium sterile environment which offsets constraints matrix. Nevertheless, conditions provide very different growing compared...
