Effects of two species of mycorrhiza fungi and drought stress on chlorophyll a, b and total of Ocimum basilicum
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Moisture deficits is a significant challenge to the future crop production. A plant responds to a lack of water by halting growth and reducing photosynthesis and other plant processes in order to reduce water use.The influences of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus on chlorophyll concentration, were studied in pot culture under well-watered and drought stress conditions. In order to investigate the effects of two species of mycorrhiza fungi and droghut stress on chlorophyll content on Ocimum basilicum, a Pot experiment in factorial and completely randomized design with four replications was conducted on Ocimum basilicum L. Examined factors include four levels of drought (FC,0.75 FC,0.5 FC and 0.25 FC) and applying two species of mycorrhiza fungi (Glomus fasciculatum and Glomus mosseae) and control. Results showed that drought stress had a significant effect on traits.Aso the results showed that the fungus Glomus fasciculatum and Glomus mosseae had not any significant differences on chlorophyll a, b and total of Ocimum basilicum. This is important to know that the knowledge about chlorophyll concentration of AM plants under drought stress are insufficient.
