VA-MYCORRHIZA IN TASAR HOST PLANTS

摘要

A recent study confirms ample presence of VAM spores in primary food plants of tasar which could well be utilized for augmenting the quality and survivability of tasar seedlings and saplings, which in turn could prove to be a boon in afforestation of natural tasar plants, opine the authors.rnMycorrhizal fungi arernubiquitous soil inhabitants. Mycorrhizas, which literally means fungus root, are highly evolved non-pathogenic symbioticrnassociation between roots of most vascular plants and certain special soil fungi (Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes and Zygomycetes) that colonize the cortical tissues of roots during periods of active growth both in natural environment and cultivation.
