Title:
Flowering and Bulb Quality of Liliaceous Species in Response to Mycorrhizal Fungi

Authors:
Carolyn F. Scagel and R.G. Linderman

pp: 280-286

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION

Plants with roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi are more effective at nutrient and water acquisition, less susceptible to disease, and can be more productive under certain stressful environmental growing conditions than plants without mycorrhizae. There is little available information describing the benefits of inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi on different aspects of productivity and flowering of liliaceous bulb crops except onion (Giovannetti and Riess, 1980; Tawaraya et al., 1999), and little information describing the effects of mycorrhizal fungi on flowering (Byla and Koide, 1998; Johnson et al., 1982). Members of the Liliaceae form mycorrhizal associations with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF) (Ames and Linderman, 1977). This paper presents results from several inoculation experiments with VAMF on bulb, corm, and flower production in several liliaceous plant species.
