Evolution
• Life first emerged on land = pre-cambrian period
• Zygomycete hyphae = Cambrian• Endomycorrhizas = Devonian period,
discovered by Kidstone & Lang• Fossil mycorrhizas were first discovered
by Weiss(1904) in lower carboniferous.
4
Discovery
• Symbiosis was studied by Franciszek Kamieński in 1879–1882.
• Albert Bernhard Frank, who introduced the term mycorrhiza in 1885.
6
Kinds of Mycorrhizae
• Marks (1991) classified on the basis of types of relationships with the hosts .
• Ectomycorrhiza =Harting nets……ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes
• Endomycorrhizae =The fungus grows within the cortical cells.
• Ectendomycorrhiza• Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza • Arbutoid Mycorrhiza• Monotropoid Mycorrhiza• Ericoid Mycorrhiza• Orchid Mycorrhiza
8
Distribution of Mycorrhizal Fungi
HOST• 83% Dicots• 79% Monocots• 100% Gymnosperms• Cherry, Coconut , Hibiscus,
Banana ,Garlic = ENDO• Eucalyptus , Pine, Cypress,
Poplar = ECTO• Cedar ,willow=ENDO
& ECTO
NON HOST• Amaranthaceae,
Brasicaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Commelinaceae, Lecythidaceae, Portolaceae, Proteaceae, Restionaceae, Sapotaceae, Zygophyllaceae

VAM as biocontrol agentThe prodigious research made during last four decades clearly established its widespread occurrence in various plants species and under different agroclimatic conditions covering broad ecological range including deserts,forests and mangroves.
It established that this symbiotic association benefits the plants through enhanced nutrient uptake, biological control of root pathogen and synergistic interaction with nitrogen fixing microorganisms,hormones production and drought resistance.
10
This biotool has now attracted the attention of microbiologist, agronomists, horticulturists and foresters at the global level.
Extensive studies have explored the possibility of using mycorrhizal model system in inducing suppressions of potential soil-borne pathogens.
Its relevence becomes all the more important since most of the soil-borne diseases, by and large, are not easily controlled by conventional method.
11
Interaction of vam fungi and fungal pathogen results in decrease in severity of disease,thus the vam fungi determine the severity of the disease they may be used as biocontrol agents.
Morphological, anatomical, biochemical or physiological changes in the host due to mycorrhization may suppress the pathogen and its activity and imparts resistance against it.
It curtails the damage caused by the pathogen resulting in a curtailment of disease expression.
12
Mycorrhizal roots are functionally longer than non- Mycorrhizal ones,and are less susceptible to certain types of pathogen attack.
The major relevance is in the control of soil borne diseases,
13
Success of VAM fungi as biocontrol agent has been established beyond doubt as they proved their potential to check a number of soil-borne diseases including root rot of tomato due to Fusarium oxysporium f. sp. radices lucopersici (Caron et al. 1986) and root rot of green gram, black gram and chick pea due to Macrophomina phaseolina, (Kehri and Chandra,1990,Chandra et. al.,1995)
14
Physiological alterationsQualitative and quantitave differences in chemical constituents in roots of mycorrhizal and non mycorrhizal plants,
Higer level of amino acids specially arginine have been reported in the mycorrhizal plant species,
High level of chitinolytic activity has been reported in mycorrhizal roots and it is suggested that the chitinolytic enzymes are produced by the host for the digestion of arbuscules
15
Mycorrhizal roots have been reported to exhibit a low level of starch but higher level of soluble carbohydrate and reducing sugar.
mycorrhizal roots have been shown to contain more phenols than non mycorrhizal roots.
accumulation of phenols in root tissue of mycorrhizal plants has been reported to be the cause of inhibition of growth of pathogen like Sclerotium and Fusarium in tomato.
16
COMPETITION FOR PHOTOSYNTHATE
In plants, a pathogen shares the photosynthate produced by the host
In mycorrhizal plants loss in carbon is compensated by increase in photosynthesis, which may inturn nullify the growth depression
Carbon drain is eliminated due to additional photosynthate produced by the host as a result of mycorrhizal association.
18
ROOT EXUDATESThe root exudates affect the pathogenesis of root pathogen.
Exert a favorable effect or unfavorable effect on germination or penetration of pethogen
Exert the same effect on the pathogen directly through the non pathogenic root microflora which have a important role in pathogen activity
Alternation in pattern of root exudation due to VAMassociation proposed to be causal of soil borne disease reduction
VAM symbiosis reported to be regulated by amount of nutrients that is amino acids and reducing sugars.
21
Higher root exudation in the zone root elongation, the zone most susceptible to VAM colonization.
Mycorrhization induce qualitative and quantitative changes in the root exudatin resulting in a modification of microbial population in rhizosphere and rhizoplane modification encourages or suppresses the activity of pathogen and pathogenesis Resistance against the pathogens due to additional metabolities in root exudates change in quantity of a specific metabolite related to the activity of pathogen.
22
COMPETITION FOR SPACE
VAM fungi and pathogen share the space in the tissue of roots , competiton for space between the two share holders
VAM symbiont provides additional root tissue increasing growth of roots resultant of improved nutrition, competition hypothesis for resistance has been doubted.
Pathogen fungus reduce the apex diameter and the number of mitoticaly active and viable apices inducing plasmolysis,cell and nucleus degeneration and necrosis.
24
The AM fungus produced an increase in apex size and reduced the percentage of necrosis both uninfected and infected roots
AM fungus protected the apices from the pathogenic infection,allowing normal root growth.
Thus produced thicker roots, might indirectly contribute to plant protection.
Increased volumes of colonizable tissues favour the spreading the symbionts.
26
Primary goal of mycorrhizal inoculation
• Improve the uniformity of tree growth • It produce fruiting bodies• Increase resistance • Increase the diversity of soil fungi • Inoculate any size of plant by spraying or
dusting the roots, drenching containerized plants or incorporating the mycorrhizal spores into growing media.
How does the AM fungus benefit?AM fungi are “obligate symbionts”
• They must live in symbiosis with plants to complete their life cycles
• Why?– Metabolic division of labor among the structures of
the fungus– Only the fungus within the root can absorb sugars
for energy and make lipids necessary for storage and growth
– Germinating spores can only grow as long as their stored lipids hold out
29
Tips to Choose a Quality Mycorrhizal Inoculant
Some researchers lucky enough to find an excellent manufacturer.
• Spore count• The quality of the manufacturing process• The health of the spores • Cost price• Ectomycorrhizal inoculant are more plentiful.
Collection of plant sample-
• The plant samples both healthy and diseased (arhar plants) were collected from-
• phaphamau, Allahabad and;• pratapgarh
Slide preparation of Mycorrhizal roots-
Root washing with water
Cut roots into small 1 cm pieces
Washed with 10% KOH for 24 hrs at room temp.
Washed with water
Kept solution in 3% Sodium hypochlorite
Washed with water
Kept in HCl for 3-4 mints.
Kept in tryphanblue for 24 hrs at room temp .
Kept in destain
Stained roots were kept on slide and were covered with cover slip
Observed under microscope
