20.500.12556/RUL-135608 The effect of mycorrhizal inoculum and phosphorus treatment on growth and flowering of ajania (Ajania pacifica (Nakai) Bremer et Humphries) plant The influence of mycorrhizal inoculum in combination with different phosphorus treatments on growth and flowering parameters of Ajania (Ajania pacifica (Nakai) Bremer et Humphries) plants was investigated in two growing seasons (2015 and 2016). Plants of the cultivar ‘Silver and Gold’ were transplanted into pots either with added mycorrhizal inoculum or without inoculum and assigned to four phosphorus treatments. Mycorrhizal colonization was assessed by evaluating the frequency of colonization, intensity of colonization and density of fungal structures (arbuscules, vesicles, coils and microsclerotia) in the roots. During the growing season, the content of plant available phosphorus in the soil was analyzed, and shoot length, number of shoots, number of inflorescences, number of flowers and flowering time were evaluated. Inoculated Ajania plants were successfully colonized with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophytic fungi. In the root segments, hyphae were mainly observed, as well as vesicles, coils, arbuscules and microsclerotia, but in lower density. The density of fungal structures did not differ among phosphorus treatments, but did differ between years, with a higher density of fungal structures in 2016. Mycorrhizal plants developed higher number of shoots in 2016, higher number of inflorescences, higher number of flowers, and they flowered longer compared to uninoculated plants. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi dark septate endophytic fungi phosphorus fertilization growth flowering fungal colonization Ajania pacifica arbuskularna mikoriza gnojenje okrasne rastline rast cvetenje glivna kolonizacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-03-22 09:14:09 2022-03-22 09:14:10 2022-09-14 04:14:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 12 str. iss. 7, art. 178 Vol. 7 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 635 2311-7524 10.3390/horticulturae7070178 69210883 RAZ_Vosnjak_Matej_2021.pdf RAZ_Vosnjak_Matej_2021.pdf 1 E39B03E836BFE640BBC5ED0F8E246773 7193c273dd007441c531f00a3d094a4daec3193192db2aef354b50bae742688d 2d9ac1ef-a9b9-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154779 https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/7/7/178 1 0d34a0ec-a9b8-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154778 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
