Relationship of extra-matrical hyphae of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to plant growth response

Creator:: Kough, John Lawrence
Abstract:: The colonization of several species of plants by vesicularar-buscular mycorrhizae (VAM) was studied to determine how host, soil, or symbiont factors interacted to enhance growth of the host plant. Seedlings of two species of the Cuppressaceae and two of the Taxodiaceae formed VAM; colonization significantly improved growth. This response to...

Hepatotoxicity of monochlorobenzene in rats and rainbow trout

Creator:: Dalich, George M.
Abstract:: The hepatotoxicity of CB was studied in the Sprague-Dawley rat and rainbow trout. In rats, an ip dosage of 9.8 mmol/kg CB (~̲ LD10) produced evidence of liver toxicity over a 72 hr time course. Sulfobromophthalein (BSP) retention maximized 3-16 hr post treatment and normalized after 72 hr whereas plasma...
