Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence visitation rates of pollinating insects (2005, background): “…annual flowering plant, Cornflower Centaurea cyanus L., French marigold Tagetes patula L. and African marigold Tagetes erecta L. were chosen for this study, due to their known associations with AM fungi and their attractiveness to pollinating insects (Comba et al., 1999; Linderman & Davis, 2004).”
Improving growth, flower yield, and water relations of snapdragon (Antirhinum majus L.) plants grown under well-watered and water-stress conditions using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2012, result): “This is in agreement with the previous findings on other ornamental plants (Levy and Krikun 1980, Auge et al. 1987, Aboul-Nasr 1996, Linderman and Davis, 2004, Zandavalli et al. 2004) in which mycorrhizal plants had better flower yield than nonmycorrhizal plants.”
How does arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization vary with host plant genotype? An example based on maize (Zea mays) germplasms (2010, background): “Mycorrhiza scientists and plant geneticists speculate that root colonization by indigenous AM fungi is suppressed by improving crop resistance to disease pathogen, and that it is adversely enhanced by selecting genotypes adapted to local environments (Dehne 1982; Parke and Kaeppler 2000; Linderman ”
