The present study was carried out to explore arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity on stabilized iron ore mine dumps in Goa. A total of 84 plant species belonging to 36 families were examined for the occurrence of ...

Three herbaceous medicinal plants (Rauwolfia serpentina, Catharanthus roseus and Andrographis paniculata) growing in wild were studied for AM fungal association and P concentration at different growth stages. All the plant ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate biotrophic symbionts that form a mutualistic association with plant roots. They are directly involved in plant mineral nutrition and environmental stress tolerance. Most crop ...

The status of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and spore density was critically examined in twenty medicinal herbs belonging to fourteen angiospermic families. All the plant species examined were colonized by ...

This study was conducted to assess arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity associated with rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivated in the Khazan lands in Goa.AM fungi (Glomeromycota) are vital components of almost all ...

The diversity and species distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were analyzed in mangrove patches of the Pichavaram Forest. The AM fungal colonization, spore density, and diversity indices in 18 species of true- ...

The occurrence and diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in association 28 plant taxa belonging to 16 genera that grow in khazan lands were identified with a view to understand their ecology, role in rehabilitation ...

Twenty medicinal plants belonging to 16 angiospermic families were surveyed for the occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. All the plants surveyed were colonised with arbuscular mycorrhizae. The colonization in shrubs ...

Residual oil comprising of toxic elements can contaminate soil and water bodies. The accumulation of such effluents has a severe impact on the plant ecosystem, mainly mangroves. To escape from the ill effects of such ...

There is possibly no single argument, which by itself provides sufficient grounds for attempting to maintain all existing biological diversity. A more general and pragmatic approach, however, recognizes that different but ...
