Displacement of an herbaceous plant species community by mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal Gmelina arborea, an exotic tree, grown in a microcosm experiment
Gmelina arborea Roxb. (Gmelina, Yemane) is a fast growing tree, native from India and considered as a potentially invasive woody plant in West...

Limitations to the Potential of Transgenic Trifolium subterraneum L. Plants that Exude Phytase when Grown in Soils with a Range of Organic P Content
Growth and P-nutrition of transgenic Trifolium subterraneum L. which express a chimeric fungal phytase gene ( ex::phyA ) was compared to azygous and...

Soil Bacterial Diversity Responses to Root Colonization by an Ectomycorrhizal Fungus are not Root-Growth-Dependent
The hypothesis tested in this present study was that the ectomycorrhizosphere effect on the bacterial community was not root-growth-dependent. The...

Interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and plant growth promoting fungus Phoma sp. on their root colonization and growth promotion of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and plant growth promoting fungus Phoma sp. was studied for its effect on their root...

Toxicity of diesel fuel to germination, growth and colonization of Glomus intraradices in soil and in vitro transformed carrot root cultures
Phytoremediation is the use of selected plants to decontaminate polluted environments. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may potentially be useful...

Establishment of monoxenic culture between the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus sinuosum and Ri T-DNA-transformed carrot roots
We report for the first time the establishment of an arbuscular mycorrhizal association between Glomus sinuosum (= Sclerocystis sinuosa ) and...

Actinomycetales bacteria from a spruce stand: Characterization and effects on growth of root symbiotic and plant parasitic soil fungi in dual culture
The rhizosphere, the narrow zone of soil around living roots, is characterized by root exudates which attract soil microorganisms. Most importantly,...

Recent 14C-labelled assimilate allocation to Scots pine seedling root and mycorrhizosphere compartments developed on reconstructed podzol humus, E- and B- mineral horizons
In northern boreal forests, podzolic soils prevail that comprise of a distinct upper organic humus/mor (O) horizon that is supported by underlying...

Microtome sectioning causes artifacts in rhizobox experiments
Experimental data on rhizosphere characteristics at high spatial resolution are required to improve our knowledge on phytoavailability of nutrients...

Evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticidal protein effects on soil microorganisms
The effect of B. thuringiensis and its crystal protein on plant growth and on functional groups of microorganisms is not well understood. Soybean ( Gly...
