Response of Striga-susceptible and Striga-resistant sorghum genotypes to soil phosphorus and colonization by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus

Creator:

Leytem, Alicia B.

Abstract:

Striga, a genus of obligate parasitic weeds in the family Orobanchaceae, has been identified as the most important biological factor limiting agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Germination of Striga seeds is triggered by strigolactone root exudates from host plants. Strigolactones also induce hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which...

Soil quality assessment of Willamette Valley soils and root colonization potential by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Creator:

Allen, Natalie M.

Abstract:

Interest in measuring soil quality continues to increase worldwide in view of demands on land productivity and the necessity to preserve soil resources, yet identification of suitable indicators for soil quality assessment is still evolving. This study adapted 10 biological, physical, and chemical indicators of soil quality identified by the...
