The present study investigates the effects of Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices on the resistance of green basil plants to salinity stress. The findings suggested that there was an interaction of effects between mycorrhiza fungi inoculation and salt stress on the physiological characteristics of Ocimum basilicum L. On one hand, salinity decreased percentage of root colonization, root lengt...

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and other mammals. Most dietary Se is derived from crops. To develop a Se biofortification strategy for wheat, the effect of selenate fertilization and bacterial inoculation on Se uptake and plant growth was investigated. YAM2, a bacterium with 99% similarity to Bacillus pichinotyi, showed many plant growth promoting characteristics. Inocul...

The production and consumption of blueberry have increased in Mexico owing to its health benefits. Symbiotic relationships been shown be crucial plants. In particular, phytohormone by Pseudomonas fluorescens is an important mechanism plant growth promotion. However, there are only a few reports on the effects growth-promoting bacteria blueberries. Therefore, we aimed evaluate four strains P. (U...

We studied the production of xyloglucanase enzymes of leguminous roots in the presence of Rhizobium and arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The AM fungus Glomus mosseae and Sinorhizobium meliloti GR4 for alfalfa, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae Rlv 13 for pea, R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii 2152 for clover, R. tropici CIAT 899 for bean and Mesorrhizobium mediterraneum USDA 3392 for chickpea. Th...

gerbera jamesoniiis of commercial significance and fifth most used cut flower in the world today. a pot experiment was performed to see the effect of co-inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) i.e. (glomus mosseae andacaulospora laevis) with phosphate solubilizing bacteria pseudomonas fluorescensin the presence of different doses of superphosphate (low, medium, high) on growth establi...

Soil salinity is an important abiotic stress worldwide, and salt-induced oxidative stress can have detrimental effects on the biological nitrogen fixation. We hypothesized that co-inoculation of cowpea plants with Bradyrhizobium and plant growth-promoting bacteria would minimize the deleterious effects of salt stress via the induction of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidative protection. To ...

We investigated the protective effects of a viral vector based on an Apple latent spherical virus (ALSV) harboring a segment of the Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) genome against mosaic diseases in pea, broad bean, and eustoma plants caused by BYMV infection. In pea plants pre-inoculated with the ALSV vaccine and challenge inoculated with BYMV expressing green fluorescence protein, BYMV multipl...

Strawberry anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum J.H. Simmonds, is one of the most important diseases of this crop in Huelva (southwestern Spain). Lesions can occur on all parts of the plant but anthracnose crown rot is specially severe leading to wilt and death of plants. In this work, the infection and colonization process of C. acutatum on strawberry plants was studied. ‘Camarosa’ s...
