Mycorrhizae in sedges as related to root character and its ecological significance
Twenty four sedges were examined to assess the role of root characters on mycorrhizal status. Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) injection was positively related to root thickness and negatively to root hair number and length. Dried mycorrhizal roots of Bulbostylis barbata, Cyperus cyperinus....

| description | Twenty four sedges were examined to assess the role of root characters on mycorrhizal status. Vesicular-arbuscular
mycorrhizal (VAM) injection was positively related to root thickness and negatively to root hair number and
length. Dried mycorrhizal roots of Bulbostylis barbata, Cyperus cyperinus. C. kyllingia and Fimbristylis ovata
served as inocula oj VAMJungi in pot culture study indicating that mycorrhizal sedge roots could act as inocula
in initiating and reviving mycorrhizae in natural soils. |
