piriformospora indica, a cultivable root colonizing endophytic fungus of sebacinales, promotes plant growth and confers resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. the fungus has also the ability to colonize the roots of many varieties of plant species. the goal of present study was to clarify the colonization ability of p.indica in artichoke roots and the respond of plant to water stress. re...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bio-fertilizers on growth and development of plants in pots containing (v) vermicompost and (m) cow manure: (soil amendments) and (s) garden soil separately and in combination. in the first experiment, treatments included s (control), sm (soil + 15%m + 0%v), smv10 (soil + 15%m + 10%v), and smv20 (soil + 15%m + 20%v) by dry weight (w/w). in the...

Owing to its exceptional ability to efficiently promote plant growth, protection and stress tolerance, a mycorrhiza like endophytic Agaricomycetes fungus Piriformospora indica has received a great attention over the last few decades. P. indica is an axenically cultiviable fungus which exhibits its versatility for colonizing/hosting a broad range of plant species through directly manipulating pl...

Rhizobium radiobacter (syn. Agrobacterium tumefaciens, syn. "Agrobacterium fabrum") is an endofungal bacterium of the fungal mutualist Piriformospora (syn. Serendipita) indica (Basidiomycota), which together form a tripartite Sebacinalean symbiosis with a broad range of plants. R. radiobacter strain F4 (RrF4), isolated from P. indica DSM 11827, induces growth promotion and systemic resistance i...

Piriformospora indica association has been reported to increase biotic as well as abiotic stress tolerance of its host plants. We analyzed the beneficial effect of P. indica association on rice seedlings during high salt stress conditions (200 and 300 mM NaCl). The growth parameters of rice seedlings such as root and shoot lengths or fresh and dry weights were found to be enhanced in P. indica-...
