| Seasonal Changes Of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) Fungi In Euphorbiaceae Plants From Ramling, Balaghat Plateau Of Maharashtra, India. | | Sandhya.S. Gaikwad, S.P. Gaikwad, K.N.Gaisamudre And P.P.Sarwade | | Abstract : | | Seven plants belonging tofamily Euphorbiaceaewere studied for their AM
associationduring the three seasons. The result showed that all the plants
vizEuphorbia hirta, Euphorbia geniculata,Euphorbia heterophyll.,Euphorbia
microphylla, Euphorbia prostrate, Euphorbia pulcherrima and Euphorbia
tirucali had AM fungal association in the roots and spore population in the
rhizosphere soil.During rainy season only two genera Acaulospora(1 species)
and Glomus(2 species) were recorded. During winter season four genera were
observed namely Acaulospora(3 species), Gigaspora(2 species), Glomus(5
species) and Scutellospora (1 species).During summer season three genera
were identified Gigaspora (1 species),Glomus(2 species) and Scutellospora(1
species). The chlamydospore count was highest during winter season and
lowest during rainy season. Euphorbia tirucali was found highest root
colonization in winter as compared to other native hosts screened during the
three seasons, whereas Euphorbia microphylla was found negative for
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal colonization. | | Show Full Text : |  | | Facility : |   | |
