Growth and photosynthetic activity of micropropagated strawberry plants inoculated with endomycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and growing under drought stress

Abstract: The plants produced by in vitro methods are free of any microflora contrary to natural systems where plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi. The present paper reports the experiments carried out to evaluate the role of arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi in development of micropropagated strawberries and their photosynthetic activity (measured by chlorophyll fluorescence) under drought conditions. Mycorrhization strongly affected growth and tolerance to water deficiency of the plants cultivated in greenhouse. Wi… Show more

“…On the other hand, Cekic and Yilmaz (2011) suggested that, in soilless strawberry growing systems, mycorrhizal plants had more crowns and fruit in the 'Maraline' and 'Camarosa' cultivars when inoculated with Glomus clarum. Mycorrhizal plants showed higher biomass accumulation (crowns and shoot) and a more extensive leaf area (Borkowska, 2002).…”

“…Studies conducted worldwide show that mycorrhization in numerous plant species has an advantageous effect on chlorophyll content [19][20][21]. An elevated chlorophyll content suggests a more intensive course of photosynthesis, which was confirmed by Gernns et al [22].…”

“…During the last two decades, the mycorrhizal technology has been used to improve growth of a number of micropropagated horticultural crops as well as to enable host plants to tolerate or withstand the impairing effects of abiotic and biotic stresses. [45][46][47][48][49] Among these soil microorganisms, the most abundant and effective are rhizobia, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).…”
