Abstracts |
This study was conducted to assess arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity associated with rice ( L.) cultivated in the lands in Goa.AM fungi ( ) are vital components of almost all terrestrial ecosystems, forming a mutualistic symbiosis with roots of
more than 80% of vascular plants including agronomically important species. Roots of rice varieties from six different agricultural sites were
found to be colonized, with AM fungi ranging from 18.0% to 98.0%. Variety Korgut showed the least mycorrhizal colonization while maximum
colonization was recorded in variety Jyoti. AM fungal species belonging to four genera ., , and were recorded from the rhizosphere soils and being the dominant genus. |
