Plants can develop an enhanced defensive capacity in response to infection by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This 'mycorrhiza-induced resistance' (MIR) provides systemic protection against a wide range of attackers and shares characteristics with systemic acquired resistance (SAR) after pathogen infection and induced systemic resistance (ISR) following root colonisation by non-pathogenic r...

Biotrophic fungi interacting with plants establish long-term relationships with their hosts to fulfill their life cycles. In contrast to necrotrophs, they need to contend with the defense mechanisms of the plant to develop within the host and feed on living cells. It is generally accepted that microbial pathogens produce and deliver a myriad of effector proteins to hijack the cellular program o...

Plant-mycorrhizal fungal interactions are ubiquitous in forest ecosystems. While ectomycorrhizal plants and their fungi generally dominate temperate forests, arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is common in the tropics. In subtropical regions, however, ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal plants co-occur at comparable abundances in single forests, presumably generating complex community stru...

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) inoculation on mycorrhiza formation development in E. camaldulensis seedlings were assessed this study. Two experiments, the first with AM fungi second EM fungi, set up successively using vermiculite-peat (VP) as growth medium, 2.5 mg l-1, 5.0 10 l-1 20 phosphorus (P) Ingestad's nutrient solution each experiment. The experiment thr...

The tomato plant is usually infected with various pathogens such as pests, bacteria, and different mycoflora. In this investigation, Tomato cultivar Beeli was pathogenized Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. Lycopersicon (FOL1) fungi. FOL1 fungus controlled by inoculating the plants each one of biocontrol microorganisms, Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), Trichoderma harzianum (T. harzianum), microbial blend, na...

Symbiotic interaction between plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere is an important factor affecting plant growth fitness. Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi symbiosis increases resistance of to stress factors, including pathogens. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) destructive damaging tomatoes peppers with losses that can reach 100%. It listed on list current quarantine organisms Czech ...

An experiment on the effect of different sources of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi on tomato seedlings (var. Roma VF) was conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during rabi 2007-08 and 2008-09. Eight sources of AM fungi viz., AM-01 (Jessore), AM-02 (Rahmatpur), AM-03 (Joydebpur), AM-04 (Ullapara), AM-05 (Jamalpur), AM-06 (Hathazari), AM-07 (Ishurdi), and AM-08 (R...

Currently in Western Australia, phosphite is being used to contain the root and collar rot pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi, in native plant communities. There have been reports of negative effects of phosphite on arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), so there are concerns that it may have a deleterious effect on other mycorrhizal fungi. Two glasshouse experiments were undertaken to determine the impact ...
