Abstract

Glomus deserticola Trappe, Bloss & Menge, one of the most commonly occuring VAM fungi of arid and semiarid regions, was cultured and multiplied in root organ cultures of Ziziphus nummularia under in vitro conditions. The In vitro produced VAM fungi established efficient symbiosis with in vitro raised plantlets of Z. nummularia. This VAM strain improved the biomass production, nutrient uptake, and acclimatization of the in vitro produced plantlets of Z. nummularia in pots under green house conditions.
