Abstract


The function of mycorrhizae depends on the ability of the fungal symbiont. In the present study, the Glomus geosporum was inoculated on four amaranthaceae plants, Amaranthus oleraceae Hook. A.paniculata, A.spinosa and A. viridi has showed increased chlorophyll content in AM fungus inoculated plants over noninoculated plants, consequently the total carbohydrates and protein content was higher in mycorrhiza inoculated plants over the control or noninoculated plants. The results revealed that the enhanced stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and transpiration may be coupled with mycorrhizal inoculation on these four leafy vegetable plants, although these plants are disputed with AM fungal association.
