Abstracts |
The present work was done with the aim of generating baseline data on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and dark septate endophytic (DSE) associations in medicinal and aromatic plants of Guwahati. During the present study, a total number of 20 species of medicinal and aromatic plants were studied. All the plant species were found to have AM associations. However, out of 20 species only 12 plant species harbored DSE colonization. DSE colonization has been recorded in 10 plant species which has not been reported earlier from the present study area. Twelve plant species were colonized by both AM and DSE fungi. Physico-chemical parameters of the rhizosphere soil samples were also analyzed statistically and tested for its correlation and variation against percentage of AM and DSE root colonization and also mycorrhizal spore count. |
