Interactions of Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 with the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices: Implications for Meloidogyne incognita control on tomato

The interactions of Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices and their significance for the control of Meloidogyne incognita on tomato were investigated in greenhouse experiments. Application of P. lilacinus had no effect on the frequency and intensity of tomato root colonization by G. intraradices. Likewise, the decline of the nematophagous fungus densities after single application in soil was not affected by the presence of the mycorrhizal fungus. Single application of P. lilacinus, as pre-planting soil treatment, resulted in significant reduction of nematode damage. In contrast, mycorrhizal inoculation did not provide sufficient biocontrol. Combined application of the two agents did not enhance root protection compared to single treatments. Double treatment of mycorrhized seedlings with P. lilacinus, as seedling drench and pre-planting soil treatment, 4 and 1 week before transplanting, respectively, resulted in the highest reduction of the nematode damage. These results indicate the potential of the commercial P. lilacinus strain 251 and mycorrhiza for integration in nematode control strategies.     

Influence of the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae on the development of peanut pod rot disease in Egypt

Glomus mosseae and the two pod rot pathogens Fusarium solani and Rhizoctonia solani and subsequent effects on growth and yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) plants were investigated in a greenhouse over a 5-month period. At plant maturity, inoculation with F. solani and/or R. solani significantly reduced shoot and root dry weights, pegs and pod number and seed weight of peanut plants. In contrast, the growth response and biomass of peanut plants inoculated with G. mosseae was significantly higher than that of non-mycorrhizal plants, both in the presence and absence of the pathogens. Plants inoculated with G. mosseae had a lower incidence of root rot, decayed pods, and death than non-mycorrhizal ones. The pathogens either alone or in combination reduced root colonization by the mycorrhizal fungus. Propagule numbers of each pathogen isolated from pod shell, seed, carpophore, lower stem and root were significantly lower in mycorrhizal plants than in the non-mycorrhizal plants. Thus, G. mosseae protected peanut plants from infection by pod rot fungal pathogens. Accepted: 10 February 2000     

菌根真菌在红壤中对柑桔吸收磷肥的研究

接种一种球囊霉 Glomus sp.编号 CC-1于红壤中,使酸桔和枳实生苗的根系感染形成泡囊丛枝内生菌根。应用放射性同位素~(32)P 标记的可溶性磷肥和难溶性磷肥来研究菌根真菌对柑桔吸收磷肥的作用。放射性宏观自显影和显微自显影表明菌根真菌加强了柑桔对两类磷肥的吸收。放射性测量和化学分析证明有菌根柑桔实生苗的地上部含磷量以及从红壤中和从肥料中吸收的磷量比无菌根的增多,有菌根实生苗的生长反应也较好。     

Interactions between Glomus mosseae and arbuscular mycorrhizal sporocarp-associated saprophytic fungi

The saprophytic fungi Wardomyces inflatus (Marchal) Hennebert, Paecilomyces farinosus (Holm & Gray) A. H. S. Brown & G. Sm., Gliocladium roseum Bain., sterile dark mycelium (SDM-54), Trichoderma pseudokoningii Rifai and Trichoderma harzianum Rifai were isolated from sporocarps of Glomus mosseae. The effect of saprophytic fungi on G. mosseae spore germination was tested on water agar. Wardomyces inflatus decreased the percent germination of G. mosseae spores; G. roseum, T. pseudokoningii and T. harzianum had no effect on germination; and P. farinosus and SDM-54 increased the percentage of spore germination of G. mosseae after 4 d. Wardomyces inflatus significantly decreased hyphal length of spores which germinated, but no other saprophytic fungi affected hyphal growth. Trichoderma pseudokoningii, T. harzianum, P. farinosus and SDM-54 increased the number of auxiliary cells formed by G. mosseae. The effect of saprophytic fungi on arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of soybean was studied in a greenhouse trial. The percentage of soybean root length colonized was decreased by W. inflatus, unaffected by SDM-54 and T. harzianum, and increased by P. farinosus. Gliocladium roseum decreased root length colonized when plants were 12 wk old, and T. pseudokoningii increased colonization of roots when plants were 4 wk old. Antagonistic, synergistic and neutral actions of G. mosseae upon the saprophytic fungi were observed. The population of T. harzianum decreased and the populations of T. pseudokoningii and SDM-54 increased in the presence of G. mosseae. Our results indicate a complex interaction between G. mosseae and associated saprophytic fungi.     

Manganese reduction in the rhizosphere of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal maize

The influence of rhizosphere microorganisms and vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhiza on manganese (Mn) uptake in maize (Zea mays L. cv. Tau) plants was studied in pot experiments under controlled environmental conditions. The plants were grown for 7 weeks in sterilized calcareous soil in pots having separate compartments for growth of roots and of VA mycorrhizal fungal hyphae. The soil was left either uninoculated (control) or prior to planting was inoculated with rhizosphere microorganisms only (MO-VA) or with rhizosphere microorganisms together with a VA mycorrhizal fungus [Glomus mosseae (Nicol and Gerd.) Gerdemann and Trappe] (MO+VA). Mycorrhiza treatment did not affect shoot dry weight, but root dry weight was slightly inhibited in the MO+VA and MO-VA treatments compared with the uninoculated control. Concentrations of Mn in shoots decreased in the order MO-VA > MO+VA > control. In the rhizosphere soil, the total microbial population was higher in mycorrhizal (MO+VA) than nonmycorrhizal (MO-VA) treatments, but the proportion of Mn-reducing microbial populations was fivefold higher in the nonmycorrhizal treatment, suggesting substantial qualitative changes in rhizosphere microbial populations upon root infection with the mycorrhizal fungi. The most important microbial group taking part in the reduction of Mn was fluorescent Pseudomonas. Mycorrhizal treatment decreased not only the number of Mn reducers but also the release of Mn-solubilizing root exudates, which were collected by percolation from maize plants cultivated in plastic tubes filled with gravel quartz sand. Compared with mycorrhizal plants, the root exudates of nonmycorrhizal plants had two fold higher capacity for reduction of Mn. Therefore, changes in both rhizosphere microbial population and root exudation are probably responsible for the lower acquisition of Mn in mycorrhizal plants.     

内生真菌和丛枝菌根真菌对羊草生长的影响

该研究比较了摩西球囊霉(Glmous mosseae)和幼套球囊霉(Glmous etunicatum)两种丛枝菌根真菌和内生真菌单独及混合接种对羊草(Leymus chinensis)生长的影响。结果表明, 内生真菌对2种菌根真菌的侵染均无显著影响, 内生真菌可极显著增加羊草的分蘖数、地上生物量、总生物量。内生真菌与菌根真菌之间的相互作用因菌根真菌种类而不同, 幼套球囊霉对宿主植物生长无明显影响且和内生真菌之间也无明显的相互作用; 单独接种摩西球囊霉显著增加羊草的地上、地下和总生物量, 当其与内生真菌共同存在时, 二者之间存在一定的拮抗作用。冗余分析结果表明, 在内生真菌-AM真菌-羊草共生体中, 内生真菌对宿主植物生长的影响最大, 摩西球囊霉对宿主植物生长也有一定的贡献, 幼套球囊霉对宿主植物生长无明显影响。     

土施糖类对丛枝菌根真菌侵染率和产孢的影响

丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)不能进行光合作用,需要宿主植物提供碳水化合物供其完成整个生命周期,添加外源物质调控AMF和宿主植物的关系被认为是一种可行的措施。通过盆栽实验种植番茄,探索土施不同糖类对摩西球囊霉Glomus mosseae的侵染率、产孢能力和功能(宿主植物生长和养分)的影响。结果表明,添加葡萄糖和蔗糖可提高接种了摩西球囊霉的番茄的地上部生物量以及磷、钾吸收量,但对地上部氮吸收量影响不显著;添加麦芽糖和淀粉对地上部生物量及氮磷钾养分吸收量的影响均不显著。添加糖类处理,土壤碱解氮均有下降趋势;土壤速效磷、速效钾随着地上部磷和钾吸收量增加有下降趋势。糖类添加对土壤有机质没有影响。添加不同糖类均提高了AMF的侵染率,其中添加蔗糖处理的侵染率较单独施用摩西球囊霉菌处理增加了114%。单独施用摩西球囊霉菌剂处理土壤孢子数为10个/g,添加葡萄糖和淀粉处理的孢子数均为8个/g,添加蔗糖和麦芽糖处理的孢子数均为11个/g,添加糖类均对AMF产孢无显著影响。
