| Summary: | This study was conducted to investigate the morphological identification of
vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) on bulbous plants in the Taurus
Mountains in Turkey. Thirteen soil samples and bulbous roots were taken from
the rhizosphere of bulbous plants. The soils were analyzed for the number of
VAM spores and chemical and physical properties. In addition, the roots were
examined for infection levels, and morphological identification of VAM spores
was made. All tested plants are considered mycorrhizal plants. We determined
three spore species (Glomus mosseae, Glomus hoi and Scutellospora calospora)
from the surveyed soils. The spore distribution rates were as follows: G.
Mossea 61.54 %, G. Hoi 23.07 % and Scutellospora calospora 15.38 %. Results
suggest that VAM fungal spores and root colonization display variation in
rhizosphere under bulbous plants in different ecological conditions. |
