Occurrence of AM fungi in Xanthium strumarium L.plants of Osmanabad District
A survey of the arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM) status associated with Xanthium strumariumL plants growing and distributed in Osmanabad district of Marathwada region in Maharashtra state. The result showed that all the different sites Xanthium strumarium L. plants had AM fungal association in the roots and spore population in the rhizosphere soil. However, maximum percent root colonization of AM fungi was observed in Paranda sites (98 %) followed by others, while minimum in Omerga sites (58 %).Paranda sites (300) showed more spore density whereas less in Kallam sites (59). Total five genera of AMF was identified up to species level in which Acaulosporaspp and Glomusspp were found dominate followed by, Sclerocystisspp, Entrophosphoraspp and Gigasporaspp were found poorely distributed
Association of AM fungi in important Pteridophytic plants of Maharashtra, India.
Four pteridophytic plants were studied for their Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal association. All tested plants were distributed in Maharashtra state. The result revealed that all the tested pteridophytic plants (viz. Equisetum spp, Marsilea spp, Nephrelepis spp, and Adiantum spp) had AM association in the roots and spore population in the soil. However, maximum root colonization was observed in Equisetum spp (96%) where as minimum was observed in Nephrelepis spp (28%). Equisetum spp (208) showed more spore density where as less in Adiantum spp (27). Total 15 AM fungal species were identified and quantified in which Glomus spp were dominant followed by Acaulospora spp Sclerocystis spp and Gigaspora spp were found less frequently distributed
Diversity of Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in some common plants of marathwada region
Four angiospermic plants belonging to two different families were studied for their AM association. All test plants were growing and distributed in Osmanabad district of Marathwada region in Maharashtra state. The result showed that all the four plants viz. Annona squamosa, Annona reticulata, Tinospora cordifolia and Cocculus hirsutus had AM fungal association in the roots and spore population in the rhizosphere soil. However, maximum percent root colonization of AM fungi was observed in Tinospora cordifolia (92 %) followed by others, while minimum in Annona reticulata (57.33 %). Tinospora cordifolia (320) showed more spore density whereas less in Annona squamosa (59). Total five genera of AMF was identified up to species level in which Acaulospora spp were found dominate followed by Glomus spp, Sclerocystis spp, Entrophosphora spp and Gigaspora spp were found poorely distributed
Association of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in some angiospermic plants of Maharashtra, India
The result showed that all the seven angiospermic plants viz. Morinda citrifolia L., Carica papaya L., Lowsonia inermis L, Mimosa pudica L., Tamarandus indica L., Bauhinia recemosa Lamk and Indigofera duthiei Drum. had AM fungal association in the roots and spore population in the rhizosphere soil. However, maximum percent root colonization of AM fungi was observed in Carica papaya (80 %) followed by others, while minimum in Lowsonia inermis (20%). Mimosa pudica (305) showed more spore density whereas less in Morinda citrifolia (59). Total four AMF was identified up to species level in which Glomus spp were found dominate followed by Acaulospora spp., Sclerocystis spp and Entrophosphora spp were found poorly distributed
Growth effect of Capsicum annum var. Jwala plants inoculated with Glomus fasciculentum and Trichoderma species
In the present investigation deals with the beneficial effect of Glomus fasciculentum with Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viride under pot experiment. In dual inoculated Capsicum plant showed significant increase in plant growth parameters like number of leaves, stem diameter, shoot length, number of branching, root length, fresh root weight, dry root weight, fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight, % of root colonization and number of spores as compared to control. The results reveal that mixed Mycorrhiza and Trichodema species inoculation contribute best growth and development of Capsicum annum plant under pot experiment.Â
Mycorrhizal association and influence on growth of Asian pigeonwings (Clitoria ternatea L.)
Clitoria ternatea L. is an excellent herbal medicinal plant. Arbusular Mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonization and biomass of three different tested conditions of Clitoria ternatea plant was investigated. Inoculums of indigenous AMF and Trichoderma harzianum was tested greenhouse experiment and compared with natural condition after 60th days of treatment. Percentage of Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) infection, number of resting spores and AM fungi species varies in different land. Among three different conditions, natural conditions showed maximum root colonization (75.89%) than treated one but minimum spore density (358.8/100g rhizosphere soil). Highest spore density (481.6/100g soil) was found in T. harzianum treated condition followed by indigenous AMF treatment Acaulospora Glomus and Sclerocystis these three genera were found frequently. AMF inoculums and T. harzianum treatments conditions were observed promising biomass data of 60th days after treatment (DAT). When AMF are more colonized to plants then enhanced the biomass productivity
