Potential Use

The effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae on growth, metal uptake and translocation of Sedum spectabile for phytostabilization of lead/zinc tailings were investigated by a greenhouse experiment in this study. The results showed that mycorrhizal inoculation significantly improved biomass of S. spectabile. The Pb, Cu and Cd concentrations in roots were higher than those in shoots both with and without mycorrhizas, while Zn concentration was higher in shoots than that in roots. In addition, it was found that most of the values of bioconcentration factor and translocation factor of tested metals were much lower than 1, except the translocation factor values of Zn were about 3, and inoculation further significantly reduced translocation factor values of Pb and Cu. These results suggested that S. spectabile inoculated with mycorrhizal might be a potential approach to revegetation of Pb/Zn tailings in northern China.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae on growth, metal accumulation and translocation of Festuca arundinacea for the phytostabilization of lead/zinc tailings in this study. The results showed that mycorrhizal inoculation substantially enhanced the growth of F. arundinacea and significantly decreased Pb and Cd concentrations in shoots. The bioconcentration factor and translocation factor values of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd of F. arundinacea were much lower than 1, and inoculation further inhibited Pb, Cu and Cd translocation from roots into shoots, while enhanced Zn translocation. These results suggested that F. arundinacea inoculated with mycorrhizal might be a potential measure for revegetation of Pb/Zn tailings, especial for Pb, Cu and Cd stabilization, in northern China.

Effect of Glomus Mosseae (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus) On Host - Parasite Relationship of Meloidogyne Incognita (Southern Root-Knot Nematode) on Four Improved Cowpea VarietiesTwo pot experiments and a field study were conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The experiments were conducted to determine the effect ofGlomus mosseae, a mycorrhiza fungus, on the reaction of four improved cowpea varieties toMeloidogyne incognita.Cowpea plants were inoculated with a single or a combination of 5 000 eggs ofM. incognitaand 50 g ofG. mosseaeinoculum containing 5 spores/g of soil. The standardized method of screening and reporting resistance of crop germplasm to root-knot nematodes at 60 days after planting, and the modified version of including yield for resistance rating at harvest were used for this study. Root galling due toM. incognitainfection was significantly lower on all the cowpea varieties treated withG. mosseaeand more significantly on IT90K-277-2 and IT89KD-288 in the screenhouse.G. mosseae, suppressed root-knot nematode reproduction on all the varieties compared to cowpea plants infected only byM. incognitaboth in the screenhouse and field experiments. Also,G. mosseaemitigated the damage attributable to the root-knot nematode on all these varieties. Using Gall Index (GI), reproduction factor and yield,G. mosseaewas effective in improving the resistance of the cowpea varieties toM. incognita.IT90K-76 cowpea variety was consistently resistant to the root-knot nematode, while IT90K-277-2 was tolerant withM. incognitainfection but resistant withG. mosseaetreatment. IT90K-941-1 variety was resistant in the screenhouse. The results of this study also confirmedG. mosseaeas a potential bio-control agent forM. incognitaon these cowpea varieties.
