Tolerance of Mycorrhiza infected Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) seedling to drought stress under glasshouse conditions

Effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the protection of olive plants against oxidative stress induced by drought

“…Previous investigations have shown that drought can reduce AMF colonization by inhibiting spore germination and reducing growth and spread of hyphae after initial infection had occurred Abbaspour et al, 2012). Indeed, most of the energy used for the development and branching of the hyphae is obtained from photosynthesis.…”

“…In this mutual symbiosis, plants exchange photosynthates, not only for mineral nutrients, but also for increased tolerance to drastic environmental conditions such as drought (AlKaraki et al, 2004;Faghire et al, 2010) and soil salinity (Estrada et al, 2013). These positive effects seem to be due to the enhanced antioxidant enzymes activities Abbaspour et al, 2012;Fouad et al, 2013), and improved water relations and nutrient acquisition (Faghire et al, 2010;Fouad et al, 2013) in mycorrhizal plants. However, the effectiveness of the mycorrhizal symbiosis varies according to mycorrhizal fungi strains and plant cultivars (SorianoMartin et al, 2006;Binet et al, 2007).…”

Mycorrhizal Inoculation Modulates Root Morphology and Root Phytohormone Responses in Trifoliate Orange under Drought Stress

“…In roots of pistachio plants under DS, inoculation with Glomus etunicatum did not alter soluble sugar and proline contents and catalase activity, but significantly increased peroxidase activity and soluble protein concentration (Abbaspour et al, 2012). In two maize cultivars, AMF colonization significantly increased root nitrate reductase activity under the DS (Subramanian and Charest, 1998).…”

“…The growth enhance by mycorrhization with F. mosseae was observed in trifoliate orange seedlings under different phosphorus substrate levels . The enhancement of growth in AM plants is often related to improvement of nutrient acquisition, especially P (Asrar et al, 2013), and direct water uptake and transport by extraradical hyphae (Abbaspour et al, 2012;Zou et al, 2015).…”

Alleviation of Mycorrhiza to Magnesium Deficiency in Trifoliate Orange: Changes in Physiological Activity

“…CAT is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes that eliminates H 2 O 2 from plant cells (Abbaspour et al, 2012). Tian et al (2013) reported that inoculation with AMF significantly increased leaf CAT activity in Plukenetia volubilis seedlings, thus, alleviating oxidative damage by drought stress.…”
