Effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza on micro propagated olive
Abstract
Four different type AMF: M1, M2, M3 and M4 all native to Indonesia were used to study the influence of this symbiotic on olive micro propagated plants cultivar Moraiolo, Canino and three different transgenic osmotin Canino (clones AT17-2, At17-3, and At17-10) which were more resistant to fungi, and transgenic for rolABC Canino, which reduce growth and increase rooting capability. Observations have been made to plant height, number of leaves, root volume and shoot volume, leaf area and chlorophyll content on the leaves. Data were analysed statistically using the R program. In vitro rooted plantlets were cleaned from the agar media and transferred to a sterile pot containing mixed sand and soil (1:1) by volume and inoculated with different type of AMF in order to evaluate this effect on plant survival and growth.
