Introduction extensively in terms of improving soil structure and its water holding capacity (Candido et al., 2015). AM fungi are Microorganisms are present in great numbers near the well known to improve plant growth and production under feeder roots of plants and they play vital roles in numerous abiotic stress conditions e.g. salinity, drought, cold, heat, physiological processes (Marx, 1975). Arbuscular mycorrhizal mineral deficiency and metals (Daei et al., 2009; Chen et (AM) fungi are microscopic fungi that colonize the roots al and their rhizosphere at the same time and spread out over ., 2015).

The term ‘endomycorrhiza’ is used (Sanders and Tinker, 1973; Rhodes and Gerdemann, 1975; to describe mutualistic symbiotic associations between certain O’Keefe and Sylvia, 1991).

The detailed list of the collected grass species along with common name and their uses are tabulated in following Table 1. Some of the species like Poa annua, Phalaris minor, Eragrostis tenella are utilized as good sources of food and fodder for cattle. Some of the species are used by locals as their food like Aegilops speltoides, Avena fatua, Paspalum scrobiculatum. The grass species i.e. Cynodon dactylon is a sacred grass, local name- Dhoob, which is used to feed the cows as well as dogs for their stomach ailment (Table 1). The collected rhizospheric samples were analyzed for the number of AM spores present in their rhizospheric soil. The results indicated great variation among these rhizospheric samples.

Received 10 March, 2015; Accepted 5 May, 2015 The objective of this study was to characterize the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities colonizing the roots of Vigna unguiculata (L.) plants cultivated in two different sites in Senegal. Roots of cowpea plants and soil samples were collected from two fields (Ngothie and Diokoul) in the rural community of Dya (Senegal). Microscopic observations of the stained roots indicated a high colonization rate in roots from Ngothie site as compared to those from Diokoul site. The partial small subunit of ribosomal DNA genes was amplified from the genomic DNA extracted from these roots by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the universal primer NS31 and a fungal-specific primer AML2. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that 22 sequences from Ngothie site and only four sequences from Diokoul site were close to those of known arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in a Semi-Arid, Limestone Mining-Impacted Area of Brazil
    Acta Botanica Brasilica 27(4): 688-693. 2013. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a semi-arid, limestone mining-impacted area of Brazil Thaís Teixeira-Rios1, Renata Gomes de Souza1, Leonor Costa Maia1, Fritz Oehl2 and Cláudia Elizabete Pereira Lima1,3 Recei ved: 9 February, 2013. Accepted: 7 July, 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this study was to determine the diversity and activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in an area degraded by limestone mining within the semi-arid region of Brazil known as the caatinga (shrublands). Near a limestone quarry, we selected two areas of caatinga (preserved and degraded) for study. The number of glomerospores did not differ significantly between the two areas. There was a trend toward the most probable number of infective propagules being higher in the degraded area. Twenty AMF taxa were identified in the two sampled areas, species richness, diversity and evenness being higher in the preserved area. Two species of Racocetra represent new records for the semi-arid region of Brazil. Glomerospore production and AMF species richness were unaffected by mining activity in the study area. Key words: caatinga, glomerospores, infective propagules, mining activities, mycorrhiza Introduction aggregate soil, increasing the levels of soluble carbon and enzymes (e.g., urease, acid phosphatase and β-glucosidase), Many interactions take place among the physical, making them an important component to improve the chemical and biological components of soil, whose func- growth of young plants under severe climate conditions tionality depends on the environment in which it is located (Caravaca et al. 2002).

BINDELL Dissertation Director: Dr. Ning Zhang Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi) are a group of mutualistic, root- colonizing, microorganisms that have enormous importance in ecosystem functioning, agricultural production, and habitat conservation. Despite their relatively small taxonomic diversity, they associate with over 80% of terrestrial plants. AM fungal species are often described through morphological differences, such as, spore wall features. However, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become an increasingly popular method to expand our understanding of AM fungal global diversity patterns. The drivers of AM fungal diversity patterns remain poorly understood. This dissertation, therefore, combines Illumina MiSeq sequencing and microscopic observations to uncover the AM fungal communities inhabiting switchgrass roots in the Pine Barrens ecosystem, and compare those communities with those from agroecosystems. The AM fungal communities of the rare and unique Pine Barrens ecosystem were previously unknown. Illumina sequencing results uncovered several clades unique to the Pine Barrens ii ecosystem, as well as, clades unique to agricultural fields, with many potentially novel species.

La regeneración y establecimiento de Peumus boldus, boldo, especie endémica de mayor importancia económica y ambiental de Chile, es complicada, por lo que la identificación de hongos micorrícicos arbusculares (HMA) representa un importante aporte a la recuperación de formaciones naturales, así como al establecimiento de plantaciones de la especie. El presente estudio corresponde a una descripción cuantitativa de HMA presentes en formaciones naturales de Peumus boldus en Chile Central. Se identificaron 23 especies de HMA de las familias Acaulosporaceae (Acaulospora), Entrophosporaceae (Entrophospora), Glomeraceae (Funneliformis, Glomus, Rhizophagus y Sclerocystis) y Paraglomeraceae (Paraglomus aff. laccatum). Dentro de las especies encontradas, se destacan a Funneliformis badius y Funneliformis constrictus cuya presencia se detectó en todos los sitios. Asimismo, el índice de Simpson muestra en general una alta dominancia de especies de HMA en seis sitios estudiados. El índice de Shannon, por su parte, indica que existe una baja diversidad de especies en los sitios estudiados. Finalmente, este estudio servirá como base para optimizar las técnicas de establecimiento de boldo, al conocer que tipos de HMA pueden mejorar el éxito de la sobrevivencia y desarrollo de la especie bajo esquema de plantación, así como de enriquecimiento y restauración en formaciones naturales de la especie y del bosque esclerófilo.
