TY - JOUR. T1 - The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus geosporum in European saline, sodic and gypsum soils. AU - Landwehr, Melanie. AU - Hildebrandt, Ulrich. AU - Wilde, Petra. AU - Nawrath, Kerstin. AU - Tóth, Tibor. AU - Biró, Borbála. AU - Bothe, Hermann. PY - 2002/12/1. Y1 - 2002/12/1. N2 - Plants of saline and sodic soils of the Hungarian steppe and of gypsum rock in the German Harz mountains, thus soils of high ionic strength and electric conductivity, were examined for their colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Roots of several plants of the saline and sodic soils such as Artemisia maritima, Aster tripolium or Plantago maritima are strongly colonized and show typical AMF structures (arbuscules, vesicles) whereas others like the members of the Chenopodiaceae, Salicornia europaea, Suaeda maritima or Camphorosma annua, are not. The vegetation of the gypsum rock is totally different, but several plants are also strongly colonized there. The number of spores in samples ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Comparison of phosphatase localization in the intraradical hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus spp. and Gigaspora spp.. AU - Ezawa, Tatsuhiro. AU - Saito, Masanori. AU - Yoshida, Tomio. PY - 1995/9/1. Y1 - 1995/9/1. N2 - The localization of acid and alkaline phosphatases in the intraradical hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus mosseae (Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe (Gm), Gl. etunicatum Becker and Gerd. (Ge) and Gigaspora rosea Nicol. and Schenck (Gir) were compared. Marigold (Tagetes patula L.) and leek (Allium porrum L.) were inoculated with each of the three fungi. The mycorrhizal roots were harvested at 3, 4, 5 and 6 weeks after sowing (WAS), treated with a digestion solution containing cellulase and pectinase, and then stained for phosphatase activities at pH 5.0 and pH 8.5. The development of fungal structures in the host root was also examined. Gm formed fine-branched (mature) arbuscules only at the early phase of infection (3 to 4 WAS). Mature ...

An assay based on the competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to quantify Glomus mosseae, an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, within plant roots. Using previously designed G. mosseae specific primers, a heterologous internal standard was constructed by amplifying Pseudomonas DNA under low stringency annealing conditions. Go-amplification of G. mosseae and internal standard DNA within leek root extracts provided accurate quantification of target DNA. Colonization of leek roots by G. mosseae was monitored in a comparative study by competitive PCR and microscopy, a conventional method of quantification. These two methods gave closely parallel data for G. mosseae colonization from three different inoculum levels over a 6 week period Results indicate that competitive PCR is a sensitive and accurate method of quantification. The major advantage of competitive PCR over microscopy is that it can quantify specific AM fungi. ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs; nevertheless their spores can germinate in the absence of host plants. Such inconsistent behavior is balanced by diverse survival strategies. The ability of AM fungal hyphae to fuse might represent a fundamental survival strategy because germlings could plug into compatible mycorrhizal networks, thus gaining access to plant-derived carbon before asymbiotic growth arrest. An in vivo experimental system was used to grow extraradical mycelium produced by Glomus mosseae colonizing three different plant species and germlings of the same isolate. After symbiotic and asymbiotic mycelia came into contact we showed that germling hyphae fused with symbiotic network hyphae and established protoplasm connections with nuclei occurring in fusion bridges. The frequency of anastomoses between germling and symbiotic hyphae was 4.9-23.9%. Prefusion and postfusion incompatible responses, with protoplasm withdrawal in interacting hyphae, were evident in ...

Previous studies have found that some phosphate (Pi) starvation inducible transporter genes are downregulated and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inducible Pi transporter genes are upregulated in maize roots associated with the fungus Glomus intraradices. However, little is known about the functional diversity of different AM fungal species in influencing the expression of Pi transporters in maize roots. Here, we studied the expression of two Pi transporter genes ZEAma:Pht1;3 (Pi starvation inducible) and ZEAma:Pht1;6 (AM inducible) in maize root colonized by different AM fungal inoculants. Non-mycorrhizal maize, maize colonized by Glomus deserticola (CA113), Glomus intraradices (IA506), Glomus mosseae (CA201), Gigaspora gigantea (MN922A) and the co-inoculation of all four species were established. The expression patterns of the two genes were quantified using real-time, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The expression level of ZEAma:Pht1;6 was 26-135 times higher in AM plants than in non

Soil microorganisms play an important role in enhancing soil fertility and plant health. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria form a key component of the soil microbial population. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic association with most of the cultivated crop plants and they help plants in phosphorus nutrition and protecting them against biotic and abiotic stresses. Many species of Bacillus occurring in soil are also known to promote plant growth through phosphate solubilization, phytohormone production and protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. Synergistic interaction between AMF and Bacillus spp. in promoting plant growth compared to single inoculation with either of them has been reported. This is because of enhanced nutrient uptake, protection against plant pathogens and alleviation of abiotic stresses (water, salinity and heavy metal) through dual inoculation compared to inoculation with either AMF or Bacillus alone.

The mycorrhizal symbiosis between soil fungi and plant roots is a ubiquitous mutualism that plays key roles in plant nutrition, soil health, and carbon cycling. The symbiosis evolved repeatedly and independently as multiple morphotypes [e.g., arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM), ectomycorrhizal (ECM)] in multiple fungal clades (e.g., phyla Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota). The accessibility and cultivability of many mycorrhizal partners make them ideal models for symbiosis studies. Alongside molecular, physiological, and ecological investigations, sequencing led to the first three mycorrhizal fungal genomes, representing two morphotypes and three phyla. The genome of the ECM basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor showed that the mycorrhizal lifestyle can evolve through loss of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and expansion of lineage-specific gene families such as short secreted protein (SSP) effectors. The genome of the ECM ascomycete Tuber melanosporum showed that the ECM type can evolve ...

Most mycorrhizal fungi fall into two broad categories:. Ectomycorrhizal Fungi - These fungi are often specific in the plants they associate with and include many of the commonly wild-harvested mushrooms (e.g. Chanterelles, Boletes, Matsutake, and Russula species). They form complex multi-species relationships that are somewhat difficult to reproduce commerically. As such, these mycorrhizal fungi are not commonly cultivated.. Endomycorrhizal Fungi - Also known as Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (AM), these fungi include all the Glomeromycota species. These species are generalists, meaning that they can associate with many different plant species. One mycelial network of an endomycorrhizal fungus can be associated with numerous plants of various species and genera. Thus, these fungi literally connect the plants of the forest (or garden) together and channel resources among them. These fungi build soil structure and porosity through the creation of a sticky protein called glomalin, which is what ...

The large subunit of the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes (mtLSU) has previously been identified as a highly sensitive molecular marker for intraspecies diversity in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. In this study, the respective region was analyzed in five species of Glomus (G. mosseae, G. geosporum, G. caledonium, G. clarum, G. coronatum) from the same major clade (Glomus group A), Glomus sp. ISCB 34 from the related Glomus group B and two species of Scutellospora. Results show low level of genetic polymorphism between related morphospecies. Introns homologous to those found in G. intraradices were detected as well as new ones, some of them containing putative ORFs for homing endonucleases (HEs). Introns without ORFs for HEs seem to have been inherited strictly vertically from the ancestors of Glomus groups A and B while other introns indicate occasional horizontal transfer and possibly maintenance, degeneration and loss together with their associated HE ORFs. Overall, we provide

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs), formed between AM fungi and vascular plants, are a widespread mutualistic symbiosis where fungi colonize root cells, transfer mineral nutrients (mainly phosphate) and, in turn, obtain carbon of a photosynthetic origin. To explore the possible roles played by antioxidant enzymes in the roots and shoots of AM-inoculated potato cultivars, a field experiment was conducted using three potato cultivars (Agria, Santé and Arinda) and two Glomus intraradices levels (0 and 30 g). The leaf and root activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) affecting mycorrhizal colonization and potato yield were measured. Under AM inoculation, the three CAT, POX and APX enzymes were induced in both the roots and leaves of all the cultivars. However, the highest increases in POX, APX and CAT activities under AM inoculation were noted in the leaves of Santé and the roots of Arinda. Mycorrhizal colonization was more pronounced under arbuscular mycorrhiza ...

La micoriza arbuscular (en anglès: arbuscular mycorrhiza en plural mycorrhizae o mycorrhizas, dit també AM Fungi, també anomenada endomicoriza) és un tipus de fong micoriza que penetra en les cèl·lules corticals de les arrels duna planta vascular.. Les micorizes arbusculars (AMs) es caracteritzen per la formació duna estructura especial com els arbúsculs i les vesícules per fongs del fílum Glomeromycota (fongs AM ). Els fongs AM (AMF) ajuden les plantes a capturar nutrients com el fòsfor, sofre, nitrogen i micronutrients del sòl. Es creu que el desenvolupament dels fongs micorizes van jugar un paper important en la colonització inicial de la Terra per les plantes i en levolució de les plantes vascular.[1]. Sha dit que és més fàcil donar una llista de les plantes que no formen micorices arbusculars que no pas de les que les formen.[2] Aquesta simbiosi és una relació altament desenvolupada entre els fongs i les plantes i la relació simbiòtica més estesa.[3] lAM es troba ...

Approximately 90% of all plant species are associated with fungal species forming mutually beneficial mycorrhizal relationships. It has been well documented that mycorrhizal fungi improve plant growth, health and tolerance to adverse growing conditions such as acid soils, drought and heavy metals. Mycorrhizal fungi are an essential component of the soil ecosystem and provide an intimate link with both crop and indigenous plants. Several different mycorrhizal types are found and are broadly divided into endomycorrhizas and ectomycorrhizas (ECM).. Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) are the most common group of the endomycorrhizas forming a unique morphology within the root cortex. These fungi are classified under the Glomeromycota and associate with a wide variety of crop and herbaceous plants. The ECM on the other hand are more restricted forming an association with tree species such as Pines, Eucalyptus and Oaks. The fungal partners are generally members of the Basidiomycotina with some Ascomycotina ...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of genetically modified (GM) wheat with introduced pm3b mildew resistance transgene, on two types of root-colonizing microorganisms, namely pseudomonads and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Our investigations were carried out in field trials over three field seasons and at two locations. Serial dilution in selective Kings B medium and microscopy were used to assess the abundance of cultivable pseudomonads and AMF, respectively. We developed a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) method to characterize the diversity of the pqqC gene, which is involved in Pseudomonas phosphate solubilization. A major result was that in the first field season Pseudomonas abundances and diversity on roots of GM pm3b lines, but also on non-GM sister lines were different from those of the parental lines and conventional wheat cultivars. This indicates a strong effect of the procedures by which these plants were created, as GM and sister lines were generated via tissue

1. Plants allocate substantial amounts of carbon (C) below‐ground to obtain nutrients and other resources. 2. Increasing nutrient availability typically reduces the C investment in root growth and mycorrhizal fungi, hence reducing the C cost of nutrient acquisition. This C cost of nutrient acquisition, however, remains poorly quantified. 3. In a P fertilization experiment with Zea mays, we examined below‐ground C allocation and the C cost of phosphorus (P) uptake. In addition, we compared plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to those growing in pasteurized soil to examine the same measures in the absence of AMF. 4. P fertilization tended to increase above‐ground plant growth more than it increased the total below‐ground C flux (TBCF; root growth plus rhizosphere respiration), suggesting a reduced investment in nutrient acquisition. This was confirmed by a negative fertilization effect on the TBCF‐to‐total plant P ratio (~25% reduction for high vs. low P ...

The host plant response following inoculation with commercially available arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was determined in young grapevines under field conditions which would prevail on a typical farm. Measurements regarding growth improvement, nutrition and water relations were made in a field trial carried out on a commercial farm in the Stellenbosch region. Merlot noir grafted onto 101-14 Mgt and 110 Richter (110 R) in a Westleigh soil form and 99 Richter (99 R) in a Fernwood soil form was planted in December 1998. Vine roots were inoculated during planting with Biocult, Vaminoc and Glomus sp. 1054. Inoculation generally had little effect on xylem sap and leaf nutrient concentrations, water relations or growth responses. This was mainly ascribed to indigenous AM fungi, which seemed to have masked the effects of inoculation. A high soil P concentration was also implicated as a possible contributing factor to the general lack of grapevine response to AM inoculation.. ...

A microarray carrying 5,648 probes of Medicago truncatula root-expressed genes was screened in order to identify those that are specifically regulated by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Gigaspora rosea, by Pi fertilisation or by the phytohormones abscisic acid and jasmonic acid. Amongst the identified genes, 21% showed a common induction and 31% a common repression between roots fertilised with Pi or inoculated with the AM fungus G. rosea, while there was no obvious overlap in the expression patterns between mycorrhizal and phytohormone-treated roots. Expression patterns were further studied by comparing the results with published data obtained from roots colonised by the AM fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices, but only very few genes were identified as being commonly regulated by all three AM fungi. Analysis of Pi concentrations in plants colonised by either of the three AM fungi revealed that this could be due to the higher Pi levels in plants inoculated by G. rosea compared ...

Giant sequoias are the third longest-lived tree species with the oldest known specimen to have been 3,266 years old in the Converse Basin Grove of Giant Sequoia National Monument. (Note: Giant sequoias are only outlived by bristlecone pines-oldest aged at 4,844 years in the Great Basin-and by Alerce trees-oldest aged at 3,639 years in Chile.) Yosemites famous Grizzly Giant in the parks Mariposa Grove is best estimated to be about 3,000 years old plus or minus a few centuries, which is nothing to a giant sequoia.. Scientists currently rank the Grizzy Giants large size, or volume, as No. 25. (The largest by volume is the General Sherman tree in Sequoia National Park.) Remember that the largest giant sequoias, like the Grizzly Giant, often owe their size to rapid growth rather than age, so an old giant sequoia will not necessarily be the largest specimen..

The occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was assessed by both morphological and molecular criteria in two salt marshes: (i) a NaCl site of the island Terschelling, Atlantic Coast, the Netherlands and (ii) a K2CO3 marsh at Schreyahn, Northern Germany. The overall biodiversity of AMF, based on sequence analysis, was comparably low in roots at both sites. However, the morphological spore analyses from soil samples of both sites exhibited a higher AMF biodiversity. Glomus geosporum was the only fungus of the Glomerales that was detected both as spores in soil samples and in roots of the AMF-colonized salt plants Aster tripolium and Puccinellia sp. at both saline sites and on all sampling dates (one exception). In roots, sequences of Glomus intraradices prevailed, but this fungus could not be identified unambiguously from DNA of soil spores. Likewise, Glomus sp. uncultured, only deposited as sequence in the database, was widely detected by DNA sequencing in root samples. All attempts to ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play vital roles in sustaining soil productivity and plant communities. However, adaption and differentiation of AMF in response to commonly used fertilization remain poorly understood. In this study, we showed that the AMF community composition was primarily driven by soil physiochemical changes associated with chronic inorganic and organic fertilization of 37 years in Mollisols. High-throughput sequencing indicated that inorganic fertilizer negatively affected AMF diversity and richness, implying a reduction of mutualism in plant-AMF symbiosis; however, a reverse trend was observed for the application of inorganic fertilizer combined with manure. With regards to AMF community composition, order Glomerales was dominant, but varied significantly among different fertilization treatments. All fertilization treatments decreased family Glomeraceae and genus Funneliformis, while Rhizophagus abundance increased. Plant-growth-promoting-microorganisms of family

Giant sequoias are in many ways adapted to forest fires. Their bark is unusually fire resistant, and their cones will normally open immediately after a fire.[12] The giant sequoias are having difficulty reproducing in their original habitat (and very rarely reproduce in cultivation) due to the seeds only being able to grow successfully in full sun and in mineral-rich soils, free from competing vegetation. Although the seeds can germinate in moist needle humus in the spring, these seedlings will die as the duff dries in the summer. They therefore require periodic wildfire to clear competing vegetation and soil humus before successful regeneration can occur. Without fire, shade-loving species will crowd out young sequoia seedlings, and sequoia seeds will not germinate. When fully grown, these trees typically require large amounts of water and are therefore often concentrated near streams.. Fires also bring hot air high into the canopy via convection, which in turn dries and opens the cones. The ...

Maintaining the levels of nitrogen in agricultural fields to ensure crop yield performance is challenging due to the complex dynamics of nitrogen transformation in soil. Nitrogen is mainly taken up by plant roots in the form of nitrate, but it is considered as an environmental pollutant that threatens human and animal health. Therefore, it is necessary to use adsorbent compounds to retain nitrate in the soil. The effectiveness of two types of biochar produced from rice husk (Br) and populous wood (Bp) and two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, namely Funneliformis intraradices (Mi) and Funneliformis versiforme (Mv), on nitrate leaching in soil was evaluated. The soil columns planted with corn were filled with an artificial sandy clay loam soil fertigated with urea fertilizer under glasshouse conditions . After nine weeks of growing the plants, a pulse of nitrogen (0.48 g urea per core) was added to the columns. One week after the addition of urea, the shoots of the plants were removed, and the columns

Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a highly invasive winter annual grass that has caused significant changes to the steppe ecosystem of western North America. Cheatgrass is considered a facultative host of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and has been shown to reduce AMF density in invaded soils and reduce AMF diversity in roots of neighboring grasses. However, specific information about interactions between cheatgrass and AMF remains unknown, as well as how these interactions differ from native vegetation. The research presented here addresses these knowledge gaps. To determine when cheatgrass is colonized by AMF and the magnitude of colonization, two dense cheatgrass patches were identified in invaded shortgrass prairie in Colorado. Individuals were excavated every three weeks, from six weeks after germination through senescence. Roots were collected from individuals, cleared, stained, and observed for AMF colonization. Roots were colonized by AMF at every sampling date, but percent ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil fungi forming symbiotic associations with majority of land plants. AMF alter soil organic matter (SOM) directly through stabilization of soil aggregates and indirectly providing a path in which plant fixed C02 is transferred below-ground. Understanding contributions of AMF to SOM via protein production and stabilization of soil aggregates will greatly aid our understanding of soil carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling and mitigation of soil erosion. The work presented in chapter 2 challenges the glomalin extraction process and assesses the accuracy of the Bradford and monoclonal-antibody ELISA detection methods. My results clarify the contribution of glomalin to SOM: suggesting the extraction process is not eliminating all non-glomalin proteins.

To reduce the impact of soil-borne diseases and extend the production season, more than half of the UK strawberry production is now in substrate (predominantly coir) under protection. Substrates such as coir are usually depleted of microbes including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and consequently the introduction of beneficial microbes is likely to benefit commercial cropping systems. Inoculating strawberry plants in substrate other than coir has been shown to increase plants tolerance to soil-borne pathogens and water stress. We carried out studies to investigate whether AMF could improve strawberry production in coir under low nitrogen input and regulated deficit irrigation. Application of AMF led to an appreciable increase in the size and number of class I fruit, especially under either deficient irrigation or low nitrogen input condition. However, root length colonization by AMF was reduced in strawberry grown in coir compared to soil and

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate root symbionts that can protect their host plant against biotic stress factors such as plant-parasitic nematode (PPN) infection. PPN consist of a wide range of species with different life styles that can cause major damage in many important crops worldwide. Various mechanisms have been proposed to play a role in the biocontrol effect of AMF against PPN. This review presents an overview of the different mechanisms that have been proposed, and discusses into more detail the plausibility of their involvement in the biocontrol against PPN specifically. The proposed mechanisms include enhanced plant tolerance, direct competition for nutrients and space, induced systemic resistance (ISR) and altered rhizosphere interactions. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of ISR in biocontrol and are increasingly placing rhizosphere effects on the foreground as well, both of which will be the focal point of this review. Though AMF are not yet widely used ...

Productivity, enzymatic activity and physiological effects in peanut plants associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and supplemented with seaweed extract

A major limitation to plant growth is the restricted access to nutrients in the soil. To improve nutrient acquisition, the majority of land plants enter a beneficial symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The accommodation of fungal hyphae in roots requires the extensive transcriptional reprogramming of host cells. Several GRASdomain proteins, including NSP1 (NODULATION SIGNALLING PATHWAY 1), NSP2, and RAM1 (REQUIRED FOR ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZATION 1), have emerged as important transcriptional regulators during mycorrhization. Interaction studies suggest that these proteins form multicomponent complexes, raising the question whether they regulate similar or different mycorrhizal processes. Here, the functions of NSP1, NSP2 and RAM1 during AM development were investigated by detailed phenotypic and transcriptional analyses of the corresponding loss‐of‐function mutants. Global gene expression profiling of nsp1‐1 revealed that NSP1 is required for the expression of a large number of ...

Maize plants are well colonized with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which contribute mineral nutrients absorption from soil. However little is known about their role in nitrogen (N) absorption especially from amino acids, which reach a considerable quantity in soils. This experiment was conducted to investigate N acquisition from amino acids through AMF symbiosis. AMF inoculation clearly increased the N content of maize supplied with amino acids (Glu, Ala and Pro). Further study of xylem sap revealed that the composition of amino acids was changed by AMF inoculation. These results indicate that AMF contribute N from amino acids, and may affect the nitrogen assimilation of host plants.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with most crop plant species in agricultural ecosystems, and are conspicuously influenced by various agricultural practices. To understand the impact of compost addition on AM fungi, we examined effect of four compost rates (0, 11.25, 22.5, and 45 Mg/ha) on the abundance and community composition of AM fungi in seedling, flowering, and mature stage of soybean in a 1-year compost addition experiment system in Northeast China. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] was used as test plant. Moderate (22.5 Mg/ha) and high (45 Mg/ha) levels of compost addition significantly increased AM root colonization and extraradical hyphal (ERH) density compared with control, whereas low (11.5 Mg/ha) level of compost addition did not cause significant increase in AM root colonization and ERH density. AM fungal spore density was significantly enhanced by all the compost rates compared with control. The temporal variations analysis revealed that, AM root

In a greenhouse experiment, the effects of Glomus intraradices and indigenous mycorrhizal isolates from soils under plow and no-till treatments on the uptake of 32P placed at 1, 2.5 and 4 cm from the roots of white clover (Trifolium repens) in 23, 37 or 46 days after planting were compared.Spores of the indigenous fungi were mostly a mixture of Glomus mossea, G. clarum, G. caledonium and G. claroideum . The colonization of the roots with regard to hyphae, vesicle or arbuscules was significantly different among fungi. Uptake of 32P from different distances from the roots was strongly dependent on the mycorrhizal isolate used and the plant-symbiont age. Indigenous fungi were more effective in translocating 32P from short distances compared with G. intraradices as measured in the plants. At the age of 46 days, for example, fungi from no-till and plowed plots transported 8-10 times more 32P to the plants as compared with G. intraradices, when32P was placed at 1-cm distance from the roots.

Salt stress is an important environmental stress. Plants cope with salt stress with different strategies. In this study the effects of 2 different arbuscular mycorrhiza species (Glomus mosseae and G. intraradices) on some biochemical parameters in pepper plants (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Cumaovasi) exposed to long term salt stress were studied. It was found that mycorrhizal inoculation increased RWC, P, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid content of pepper plants during salt application. The enzyme activities changed depending on the enzyme and salt stress application. The lowest MDA content was found in the plants inoculated with G. intraradices; however, there was no significant difference between the NaCl applications. It was found that plants inoculated with G. intraradices had less lipid peroxidation, and therefore it can be said that these plants have an advantage under salt stress ...

In the low Si soil AM fungi increased root Si concentrations and reduced root herbivore performance. Both commercial and native AM treatments increased root Si and also reduced root herbivore growth rates by 107% and 81%, respectively. AM colonisation positively correlated with root Si concentrations. Distinct from this, in the high Si soil AM fungi had no impact on root Si or root herbivore growth. However, root consumption was reduced; a response independent of Si concentrations.. ...

A survey of VA Mycorrhizal fungi in the root zone of some pulses was carried out . The pulses selected for VAM survey were Cow Pea (Vigna anguiculata L.) , green gram ( Vigna radiates L. ), black gram ( Vigna mungo L.) and Chick pea ( Cicer arietinum L.). Random soil samples and roots were collected after every 30 days and VA Mycorrhizal spores isolated . The spores were identified up to species level based on the revised synoptic key by Berch and Trappe(1989). This study reports the extent of root colonization and the density and distribution of VAM spores in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil. All the pulses examined invariably showed a high percentage (55% - 80%) of root colonization .Species of Acaulospora , Glomus , Gigaspora, Sclerocystis and scutilospora were isolated. The spore density ranged from 30 - 90 spores /25 g soil. The intensity of root colonization and spore density varied not only from genus to genus with in a family but also for the same plant species at

Abstract. The effect of Bokashi (B, a fermented compost), slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) and their combined application on mycorrhizal colonization (MC), soil invertase, cellulase, acid (AcP) and alkaline (AlP) phosphatases activities and maize (Zea mays L.) yield was investigated in terrace (TS) and valley (VS) soils in Oaxaca, Mexico. A complete randomized design, seven fertilizer treatments and four replications were used: unamended control (C); conventional fertilization (90-46-00 NPK) (CF); B; SRF1 (Multigro 6®, 21-14-10 NPK); SRF2 (Multigro 3®, 24-05-14 NPK); B+SRF1; B+SRF2. Highest root colonization percentage: CF in VS, and SRF2 in TS. Highest extraradical mycelium length: B, B+SRF1, CF in VS, and B+SRF1 in TS. In both soils, B increased the spore number. Highest AcP activity: B, SRF2 in VS, and B+SRF1, B+SRF2 in TS. Highest AlP activity: B+SRF1, CF in VS, and C in TS. Highest invertase activity: B+SRF1, SRF2, CF in VS, and B in TS. Grain yield only increased with B in VS. The ...

Fossilized fungal hyphae and spores from the Ordovician of Wisconsin (with an age of about 460 million years) strongly resemble modern arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomales, Zygomycetes). These fossils indicate that Glomales-like fungi were present at a time when the land flora most likely only consisted of plants on the bryophytic level. Thus, these fungi may have played a crucial role in facilitating the colonization of land by plants, and the fossils support molecular estimates of fungal phylogeny that place the origin of the major groups of terrestrial fungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Glomales) around 600 million years ago. ...
