Abstract: | The effect of two Azospirillum strains (SP-7, Dol) was compared on root proton efflux and root enlargement of three wheat cultivars (Ghods, Omid and Roshan). Root colonization varied greatly among strain–plant combinations. Inoculation enhanced proton efflux and root elongation of wheat roots but this effect was directly dependent on the strain–plant combination. Strain SP-7 stimulated the greatest proton efflux and root elongation in cv. Roshan, whereas strain Dol induced the best effect on both these phenomena in cv. Ghods. Based on positive correlation between these two phenomena, it was suggests that proton efflux is related to increasing of root length by Azospirillum inoculation. The number of bacteria of both Azospirillum strains in root of cv. Omid was less than the other cultivars. Proton extrusion and root elongation of cv. Omid failed to respond significantly with these two strains. This may be due to incompatible host-strain combination. Thus compatible strains are necessary for increasing of proton efflux and root extension in wheat cultivars. |
