Mycorrhizas are the symbiotic associations between plant and fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi always associate with the roots of higher plants, indeed over 90% of plant species, including forest trees, wild grasses and many crops. This study aims to determine the type of spores associated with Gmelina arborea stands. This research consisted of collecting root samples, identifying fungal spores in root samples and observing arbuscular mychorriza fungal infections. The results showed that the types of spores observed in root samples were Glomus, Gigaspora, and Scutellospora. The percentage of colonization on both sites is medium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
