A Study on Root Colonization of Medicinal Plants with Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
Abstract: AbstractThe present study deals with the root colonization of medicinal plants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. Mycorrhiza is defined as a mutualistic association between the fungi and plant roots. The plant materials used for the study were collected from the premises of St. Dominic’s College, Kanjirappally, Kottayam district of Kerala. The collected specimens were chemically treated and observed under microscope. The result of the study confirmed that the VAM fungi …

In silico PASS-Assisted Biological Activity Predictions of a Phytoconstituent Astilbin isolated from Thelypteroid fern Sphaerostephanos arbuscula (Willd.) Holttum
Abstract: Pteridophytes are the most important land plants with enormous medicinal properties. The medicinal properties of this group of plants mainly depend upon the numerous phytoconstituents present inside the plants. In the present study, the biological activity spectra of a phytoconstituent Astilbin isolated from Thelypteroid fern Sphaerostephanos arbuscula was predicted using computer-aided program—Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances (PASS). The PASS predicted activity of Astilbin exhibited its various probable activities (Pa). …

Analysis of Genetic Basis for Morphological Variations in Normal and Tissue Cultured Plants of Andrographis paniculata in Association with or Without Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi using AFLP Markers
Abstract: Andrographis paniculata Nees, a member of Acanthaceae, is one of the important medicinal herbs. The active principle, Andrographolide esters has a paramount importance in pharmaceutics. Morphological variants have been reported both in natural populations collected from various geographical areas and micropropagated plants raised through tissue culture that need to be analyzed with proper molecular tools. In order to facilitate reasoned scientific decisions on its management, conservation and prepare for a …

Effect of AM Fungi on Biomass Production and Nutrient Uptake of Agroforestry Tree Seedling of Acacia species
Abstract: ABSTRACTIn a controlled pot experiment, agroforestry legume trees Acacia senegal (L.) Willd. and Acacia nilotica (L.) Willd. Ex. Del seedlings were inoculated with three different species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Glomus deserticola, Glomus fasciculatum and Gigaspora margarita which were isolated by extraction from the soil from different localities of western Rajasthan. Inoculation treatments under water deficiency significantly increased biomass production and nutrient uptake in both the species of Acacia …

The Effect of Glomus fasciculatum on the Medicinal Plant Centella asiatica (L.) Urban
Abstract: AbstractThe Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species Glomus fasciculatum was inoculated into the medicinal plant Centella asiatica L. to examine their effect on the growth parameters such as root length, shoot length, leaf length, fresh and dry weight, no. of leaves in a period of 20, 40, and 60 days. The best results were observed in Glomus fasciculatum and Azospirillum (T4) inoculated plant species.Keywords: mycorrhiza, medicinal plant, Glomus fasciculatum, AzospirillumCite this ArticleSaranya …
