We compared root system morphogenesis of micropropogated transplants of Prunus cerasifera L. inoculated with either of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Glomus mosseae or Glomus intraradices or with the ericoid mycorrhizal species Hymenoscyphus ericae. All plants were grown in sand culture, irrigated with a nutrient solution that included a soluble source of phosphorus, for 75 days after tr...

true myrtle, myrtus communis l belonging to myrtaceae family is an important medicinal herb in traditional medicine and pharmaceutical industries in iran. moreover because of  being evergreen, having dense foliage and ease of pruning, it is planted at steep slopes, grasslands, boulevards and sidelines of parks as an ornamental shrub or hedge of green. it is distributed in southern europe, asia,...

in the present study, the effect of two species of amf, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices, alone and in combination, was evaluated on the growth criteria, chlorophyll content, and root rot disease caused by fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, on chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) under greenhouse conditions. chickpea seeds were sown into pots containing 100 g of amf inoculum (more than 1,000 propagule...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities were established in pots using fungal isolates from a single field in Switzerland. It was tested whether multispecies mixtures provided more phosphorus and supported greater plant growth than single AMF species. Two host plants, medic (Medicago truncatula) and leek (Allium porrum), were inoculated with three AMF species (Glomus mosseae, G. claroid...

Two experiments were conducted over 2 years in commercial potato fields in Shropshire, UK, to evaluate the compatibility of the nematicide aldicarb with commercial inocula of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the control of the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida. The AMF used were Vaminoc (mixed-AMF inoculum), Glomus intraradices (BioRize BB-E) and G. mosseae (isolate BEG 12). In the ab...

Melia azedarach, a versatile tree belonging to the Meliaceae family, presents significant challenge in achieving successful seed germination for forest plantations. The robust nature of azedarach seeds necessitates pre-treatments overcome physical barriers and enhance water absorption. Natural ecosystems often benefit from symbiotic relationship between Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi plant r...

The effect of Heterodera avenae infestation on early seminal and lateral root growth was examined in four oat genotypes differing in tolerance to H. avenae. Recently emerged seminal roots were inoculated with a range of H. avenae larval densities, then transferred a hydroponic system to remove the effect of later nematode penetration on root development. Intolerance to H. avenae was assessed in...

this study was performed for evaluation of the qualitative traits of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) as affected by azotobacter and mycorrhizal symbiosis (host plant root symbiosis with the glomus fungi) as factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of college of arak islamic azad university during growing season of 2011-2012. tre...
