We investigated the growth and nutrient uptake of the Lycopersicon esculentum symbiosis mycorrhiza-defective plant mutant rmc, challenged with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungal propagules, in the presence or absence of roots of the commercial wild-type tomato cv. Golden Queen (GQ). Two plants shared the middle (combi) compartment of a horizontal three-compartment split-root pot with one part of...

Turf grasses are considered an integral part of landscape ecological systems worldwide which provide functional, recreational and aesthetic benefits to society and the environment. In arid and semiarid regions (e.g., Mediterranean region), turf grass is usually grown under harsh and unfavorable growing conditions with low rainfall and high rates of evapotranspiration as well as in soils with nu...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, important plant mutualists, provide plants with nutrients such as phosphorus (P) in return for carbon. AM fungi also enhance the attractiveness of plants to aphids via effects on emissions of plant volatiles used in aphid host location. We tested whether increased P uptake by plants is the mechanism through which AM fungi alter the volatile profile of plants a...

Abstract Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and diverse group of soil fungi. Mycorrhizal categorized into discrete types based on the structural differences taxonomic position involved plants The main mycorrhiza include arbuscular, ericoid, orchid, monotropoid ectomycorrhiza, latter being focus this review. Identifying ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) crucial for unders...

One filed experiment was carried out to study the effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi and three preceding winter crops, i.e., Meskawy cultivar Egyptian clover berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), Careem sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) Sakha 94 wheat (Triticum aestivum) five fertilizer combinations as treatments NPK mineral bio which included 100% (T1), 75% + arbuscular mycorrhiza (AMFs) (T2), 50% ...

Legumes form tripartite symbiotic associations with noduleinducing rhizobia and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Co-inoculation of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) roots with Bradyrhizobium japonicum 61-A-101 considerably enhanced colonization by the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae. A similar stimulatory effect on mycorrhizal colonization was also observed in nonnodulating soybean muta...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is the most widely distributed in soil and can make a symbiosis with roots of host plants to form arbuscular symbionts. Intercropping practice polyculture cropping where two or more plant species are simultaneously cultivated same field. The objective this study was define effect intercropping on density diversity spores. In study, potatoes faba beans, both wh...

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...

Roots of most terrestrial plants form symbiotic associations (mycorrhiza) with soil- borne arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Many studies show that mycorrhizal colonization enhances plant resistance against pathogenic fungi. However, the mechanism of mycorrhiza-induced disease resistance remains equivocal. In this study, we found that mycorrhizal inoculation with AMF Funneliformis mosseae sig...
