“…These data agreed with the previous evidence obtained from Vicia faba (Jia et al 2004), citrus (Wu and Xia 2006) and Ipomoea carnea (Amaya-Carpio et al 2009). Taking photosynthetic data herein and the above morphological data together, AM fungi substantially improved the tolerances of pigeon pea to drought stress.…”

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) has been rapidly grown in the drought-striken Karst regions of southwest China. Present research aimed to investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) on the drought tolerance of pigeon pea, as well as to elucidate the physiological responses of AM-colonized seedlings to the water deficit. As subjected to drought stress, AM symbiosis (AMD) highly led to the positive effects on root system, plant height and stem diameter. AMD demonstrated a remarkably higher chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance. The soluble sugar in AMD was significantly higher than that of the non-AM seedlings (NAMD), indicating the enhanced tolerance at least partially correlated with osmotic solute. Conversely, the proline (Pro) of AMD was lower, revealing the excessive Pro was not imperative for drought tolerance. After 30 days drought stress, AMD gave around a third less lipid peroxides than that of NAMD. Rather, the root activities of AMD were significantly higher than that of the latter after 10 days drought stress. Thereby, AM fungi might substantially elevate the tolerance to drought of pigeon pea, and the cumulative effects contributed to the enhanced tolerance. To date, this has been the first report concerning the enhancement of drought tolerance via AM colonization in this legume species.

“…An increase of parameters that quantified the N 2 -fixing organ -nodule number and dry weight, as well as specific ARA activity with an increase of P applied was observed also in common bean by Olivera et al (2004). Jia et al (2004) reported that inoculation with AM fungi promoted biomass production and photosynthetic rates in Vicia faba because of the enhanced P supply due to AM fungi inoculation.

The study evaluated the response of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) species Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae, strain D 293, regarding the growth, photosynthesis, nodulation and nitrogen fixation activity. Pea plants were grown in a glasshouse until the flowering stage (35 days), in 4 kg plastic pots using leached cinnamonic forest soil (Chromic Luvisols -FAO) at P levels 13.2 (P1) and 39.8 (P2) mg P/kg soil. The obtained results demonstrated that the dual inoculation of pea plants significantly increased the plant biomass, photosynthetic rate, nodulation, and nitrogen fixation activity in comparison with single inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae strain D 293. On the other hand, coinoculation significantly increased the total phosphorus content in plant tissue, acid phosphatase activity and percentage of root colonization. The effectiveness of coinoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum and Glomus mosseae was higher at the low phosphorus level while the coinoculation with Glomus intraradices appeared to be the most effective at higher phosphorus level.

“…Similar positive effects of AMF on nutrient uptake in legumes were reported earlier (Zaidi et al 2003, Ilbas and Sahin 2005, Lin et al 2007). The higher P, K, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu uptake of the mycorrhizal chickpea plants in parallel with the lack of difference in N uptake of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants in a growth substrate with adequate N levels might indicate a positive effect of AMF on dry matter by increasing the uptake of nutrients other than N (Jia et al 2004). Our results are in accordance with those of previous work on chickpea by Akhtar and Siddiqui (2007) showing no effect on N uptake but increased P and K uptake in mycorrhizal plants.…”

“…Growth and N acquisition of mycorrhizal plants benefit from N fertilization depending on the N availability from the soil (Jia et al 2004, Azcón et al 2008). In addition, there is evidence that genetic variability in the fungal partner influences N acquisition (Vázquez et al 2001).…”

Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) colonize roots of host plants and promote plant growth due to improved uptake of nutrients. While the effects on P uptake are well known, the relevance of AMF for the uptake of other nutrients is less investigated. In the present paper we studied contents of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn in the legume chickpea in pot experiments during two seasons. Beside the control, the following treatment combinations: (i) the inoculation with the commercial AMF product 'Symbivit ® '; (ii) soil sterilization before inoculation, and (iii) mineral nitrogen application. A moderate level of AMF colonization (18-55% of roots), enhanced the nutrient uptake of chickpea. With P, Mn, and in 2006 also with K, Cu, and Fe the nutrient concentrations were also elevated, even along with a simultaneous increase in plant biomass. Soil sterilization or fertilization with N showed no significant effect on nutrient uptake and biomass production.
