Cassava production in the state of Alagoas is mostly carried out by small rural producers who adopt little management technology, and routinely do not replace nutrients due to high cost chemical inputs. In this agricultural model, knowledge use strategies that include natural biological processes soil, mainly microbiota present environment, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), can be pre...

In order to quantify the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plant phosphorus nutrition, the development and extent of the external fungal mycelium and its nutrient uptake capacity are of particular importance. We develop and analyse a model of the growth of AM fungi associated with plant roots, suitable for describing mechanistically the effects of the fungi on solute uptake b...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous and establish important symbiotic relationships with the majority of the plants, even in soils contaminated with arsenic (As). In order to better understand the ecological relationships of these fungi with excess As in soils and their effects on plants in tropical conditions, occurrence and diversity of AMF were evaluated in areas affected by go...

Rattan Calamus spp. is a high commercial value palm from the subfamily Calamoideae primary source for cane in well-developed rattan industry. Most studies on have focused its biodiversity, distribution, quality, strength, physical, mechanical, and morphological properties genetics. Still, only few investigated association of with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These fungi are well known to ...

(1) Background: Understanding the diversity of communities arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is basis for understanding ecological functions AMF. (2) Methods: The community and distribution AMF at different elevations in tropical montane rainforests Mt. Jianfenfling Diaoluo were explored using high-throughput sequencing technology. (3) Results: A total 283 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) id...

This work aims to assess the leek-arbuscular fungus symbiosis response effect of cutting and light exposure on one hand, impact seedling density this other hand. Allium Porrum was grown in a container two different trials. Four species arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus hoi, Scutellospora gregaria, Rhizophagus intraradices Gigaspora margarita were used constitute inoculum. After 150 days grow...

The soil microbiota plays an extremely important role in the growth and survival of plants. presence some microorganisms can positively significantly impact tree species, which improve performance seedlings after planting for commercial purposes and/or ecosystem restoration. present study aimed to evaluate initial Hancornia speciosa Brosimum gaudichaudii associated with from parent inoculated a...

We initiated a study of the effects of mycorrhizal fungal community composition on the restoration of tropical dry seasonal forest trees. Tree seedlings were planted in a severely burned experimental site (1995 fire) during the growing season of 1998 at the El Edén Ecological Reserve, in north Quintana Roo, Mexico. Seedlings of Leucaena leucocephala, Guazuma ulmifolia, Caesalpinia violacea, Pis...

1. The effects of mutualistic interactions on partner phenotype and fitness can vary with many factors, including the abundance of interacting partners. Partner abundance may determine the relative costs and benefits associated with the interaction. Although arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can strongly influence plant phenotype and community interactions, the effects of AMF abundance on plan...

Accumulation of phosphate sludge (PS) generated from treatment process in the open air represent an environment risk and a problem terms storage capacities. The use this by-products agriculture, is alternative recovery technique for phosphate. Moreover, selection symbionts their inoculation into soil whether nursery or at field were strongly encouraged. These inoculants selected not only impact...
