in the present study, the effects of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, glomus mosseae andglomus intraradices, alone and in combination, on the growth parameters, chlorophyll and the root-rot disease of pea (pisum sativum) caused by fusarium solani f.sp. pisi were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. eight different treatments in four replications were designed in randomized blocks. compared w...

to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under water deficit stress on linseed, a field experiment was conducted as split-plot in rcbd design with three replications at the research station of faculty of agriculture at shahrekord university in 2013. water deficit stress at four levels of no stress, mild, medium and severe stress as main factor and inoculation with glomus intraradi...

The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in 10 Oregon vineyards was assessed by examining spores in soil and amplifying mycorrhizal DNA from roots. Seventeen spore morphotypes were found in soil, including seven species in the Acaulosporaceae. Eighteen phylotypes were amplified from grape roots with AM1 and NS31 primers, and clones were dominated by Glomus spp. (> 99%). A few clones ...

Abstract Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is an ornamental species used as a potted plant or cut flower, its popularity due to the diversity of colors, number flower buds, and shelf life. Nevertheless, during first phases development, problems such foliar chlorosis root diseases affects most cultivars, causing poor growth, thin stems, few flowers. The use growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ...

Plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi utilize more soluble phosphorus from soil mineral phosphate than noninoculated plants. However, there is no information on the response of soil microflora to mineral phosphate weathering by AM fungi and, in particular, on the catabolic diversity of soil microbial communities. The AM fungus, Glomus intraradices was examined for (i) its eff...

influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) (glomus etunicatum, g. intraradices and glomus versiforme) and external phosphorus supplement (8 and 35 mg p kg-1 soil) on leaf p, zn, cu and fe nutrition of 4-month-old tea(camellia sinensis) was studied in an glass house pot experiment. the highest leaf p concentration (up to 59.43% increase) was found in g. versiforme inoculated seedlings gro...

The colonization of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices BEG110 in the soil caused a decrease in disease severity in cucumber plants after fungal inoculation with Colletotrichum orbiculare. In order to illustrate the resistance mechanism mediated by G. intraradices BEG110, infection patterns caused by C. orbiculare in the leaves of cucumber plants and the host cellular responses...

BACKGROUND Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known for their beneficial effects on plants. However, there is increasing evidence that some ruderal plants, including several agricultural weeds, respond negatively to AMF colonization. Here, we investigated the effect of AMF on the growth of individual weed species and on weed-crop interactions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS First, under c...
