Roots and rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza (S. miltiorrhiza) are widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) have been shown to enhance plant growth and increase secondary metabolites concentration in many plant species. However, effects of AMFs on S. miltiorrhiza have not been explored. A pot culture was designed as one control (non-AMF) treatme...

White root rot (WRR) disease, caused by Rigidoporus microporus, is one of the major constraints causing economic loss to rubber plantation worldwide including in Malaysia. This glasshouse study was conducted evaluate efficacy a peat-based bioformulation Enterobacter sp. UPMSSB7 and an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF, Glomus mosseae) with silicon (Si) for WRR suppression plant growth promotio...

in order  to study the effect of drought stress on some growth indices of oil sunflower cultivars, a study was conducted in isfahan. the experiment was conducted as split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in isfahan (51° 48' e, 32° 40' n).main plots were drought stress in four levels (80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan class a and cultiv...

a factorial experiment based on complete block design was conducted to study the interactive effects of sulfur fertilizer and thiobacillus bacteria on corn growth and root colonization with two species of mycorrhiza fungi. treatments were five levels of sulfur (s0: 0, s1: 50, s2: 100, s3: 150 and s4: 200 mg.kg-1 of dry soil), thiobacillus in two levels [no application (t0) and application of ba...

This study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (Azar2, Darab2, Shiraz, and Falat) inoculated with the fungus Glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the School of Agriculture, Shir...
