Abstract

BECERRA, Alejandra  and  CABELLO, Marta. Arbuscular mycorrhizas in Alnus acuminata (Betulaceae) seedlings inoculated with Glomus intraradices (Glomaceae). Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2007, vol.42, n.3-4, pp.155-158. ISSN 1851-2372.

This work described for the first time the arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) development in A. acuminata Kunth «andean alder» with G. intraradices Schenk & Smith. Seedlings of A. acuminata were inoculated with root fragments of Medicago sativa L. colonized by G. intraradices in a greenhouse. The Arum -type and AM colonization are described in A. acuminata seedlings. The presence of arbuscules in A. acuminata cortical cells define a functional symbiosis.

Keywords : Alnus; Glomus intraradices; Arbuscular mycorrhiza; Inoculation; Arum -type colonization.
