  • Taxomony and mycorrhizal ecology of the desert truffles in the genus Terfezia

    Creator:
    Alsheikh, Abdulmagid M.
    Abstract:
    Mycorrhizal fungi in arid and semiarid rangelands have received little study in southwest Asia and north Africa, although they are important in food production and rangeland productivity. The desert truffles of the genera Terfezia and Tirmania form fruiting-bodies and mycorrhizae with rangeland plants. This thesis treats the taxonomy and the...

  • Microbial changes and interactions in the rhizosphere of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal plants

    Creator:
    Meyer, Julie (Julie Rae)
    Abstract:
    The influence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on populations of general taxonomic and functional groups of naturally-occurring rhizosphere bacteria and actinomycetes associated with roots of sweet corn (Zea mays var. rugosa) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) was assayed using selective media. Sporangial production by Phytophthora cinnamomi was also used as...

  • 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...

  • Inoculation of container-grown plants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae

    Creator:
    Biermann, Brenda Joan, 1954-
    Abstract:
    Studies were conducted on inoculation of container-grown plants with vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae. Intraradical vesicles formed in colonized roots were found to serve as propagules and significantly contribute to the infectivity of these roots. A procedure was developed for separating intraradical vesicles from roots; isolated intraradical vesicles were able to colonize...
