Abstract: | Wheat cultivars grown in pots in a greenhouse were inoculated either once or twice with the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (VAMF) Glomus mosseae. If inoculum was only added to the soil once (before planting) the cultivars showed differences in subsequent VAM development. If additional inoculum was added ten days after planting, VAM development was much increased and cultivars which remained without VAM after only one inoculum application now became mycorrhizal.Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity decreased throughout the experiment, but this decrease was less rapid in mycelium in twice-inoculated plants.No close relationship between SDH-activity and plant growth (VAM effectiveness) was found. |
