Abstract: | The root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica is a prime candidate to improve the growth and yield of plants. It also acts as a growth promoter and bioprotector, as well
as combating environmental stress in a range of plant species. In the present investigation impact of a P. indica culture filtrate was studied on Helianthus annus Sun gold and H. annus Japanese gold varieties in the greenhouse. Treatment with the P. indica culture filtrate promoted overall growth and seed production of the plants. Moreover, the oil content of the seeds increased
by 50% to 70% in these two varieties of H. annus plants. The possible reasons for these effects are discussed. |
