| Experiment Title | Evalution of different plants for Mass multiplication of AM (Arbuscular mycorrhiza) fungi using hydroponics system | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Research | ||
| Experiment Background | AM fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs and depend on sugar and fatty acid supply by the plant host, while plants benefit from improved mineral nutrition, especially with phosphate, better water retention and biotic, as well as abiotic stress tolerance. • Substrate based production system is also known as the classical method for the productions of AM fungi. This system may provide a chance for superfluous contaminants. • In hydroponics, roots are grown in liquid media, in which nutrient and chemical concentrations can be easily controlled. • Furthermore, hydroponic culture provides very clean root material and in addition it represents a practical setup for collecting AM fungi by root harvesting. • With the interest in studying the molecular mechanisms of AM development and function, it is good to establish a hydroponic culture system, in which plants are inoculated with fungal spores directly in the system. | ||
