Creator:: Cantrell, Isabella Cardona
Abstract:: The hypothesis that inoculation of transplants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi before planting into saline soils would alleviate salt effects on growth and productivity was tested on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). A secondary hypothesis was that the fungi isolated from a saline soil would be...

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...

Creator:: Phillips, Wendy S.
Abstract:: The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...

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...
