TLDR
Dual infections of Glycine max with VA endophytes and Rhizobium increased the number and weight of nodules significantly in natural field soil and obviated the need of phosphate application for successful nodulation.Abstract:
Dual infections ofGlycine max with VA endophytes andRhizobium, compared withRhizobium alone, increased the number and weight of nodules significantly in natural field soil and obviated the need of phosphate application for successful nodulation.read more

Mycorrhization of the Commercially Important Micropropagated Plants
Ajit Varma,Hannes Schuepp +1 more
TL;DR: The present review presents new developments in the potential use of biological tools such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which should ensure adequate levels of food production with satisfactory reduction of chemical fertilizer and pesticides, in the context of technologies needed for sustainable agriculture.

Ecophysiology and Application of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Arid Soils
TL;DR: Arbuscular mycorrhizas are the most widely spread type of fungal plant-root symbiosis, and the zygomycetes involved in these associations are often the most abundant fungi known in soil from all the continents.
Book ChapterDOI
Functions and Application of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Arid and Semi-Arid Soils
TL;DR: The mycorrhizal symbiosis formed between plant roots and the arbuscular mycorRH fungi or Glomales is of great interest to ecologists because of its potential influence on ecosystem processes, its role in determining plant diversity in natural communities and the ability of the fungi to induce a wide variety of growth responses in coexisting plant species.

Improved procedures for clearing roots and staining parasitic and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for rapid assessment of infection.
J.M. Phillips,D. S. Hayman +1 more
TL;DR: To improve stain penetration and clearing in whole mycorrhizal roots of onion and other host plants, and in roots infected by other fungi, the following two procedures are developed, which give deeply stained fungal structures which show distinctly against the outlines of the cells in the cortex of intact roots.

Advances in the Study of Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza
TL;DR: With improved techniques, very striking effects of inoculation on plant growth and phosphate uptake have been demonstrated beyond doubt, and this has led to studies of the uptake mechanism and the source of the extra phosphate.

Effect of endogone mycorrhiza on plant growth vii. influence of infection on the growth and nodulation in french bean (phaseolus vulgaris)
M. J. Daft,A. A. El-Giahmi +1 more
TL;DR: Infections of Phaseolus with Endogone and Rhizobium compared with RhizOBium alone had increased growth, reproduction, number and weight of nodules, acetylene reduction rates, leghaemoglobin, phosphorus and total protein contents.

Haemoglobin determination and its value as an early indication of peanut rhizobium efficiency.
J. Schiffmann,Rina Löbel +1 more
TL;DR: It was shown that early determination of Hb in nodules of peanuts grown in a greenhouse under bacteriologically controlled conditions can be taken as a measure of the nitrogen-fixing ability of peanut Rhizobia and thus much of the time and greenhouse facilities usually required for strain screening may be conserved.

A. K. Varma,N. S. Subba Rao +1 more
TL;DR: The limits of tolerance for good germination were 2.5 and 5 per cent of the sugar, respectively, in the slurry of peat-based Rhizobium inoculant, and in the rhizosphere fungi of peanut and soybean.
