Abstract

Two actinorrhizal plants inoculated with three vesicular
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were tested for their ability to
infect the roots and increase the growth of Casuarina equisetifolia
and Alnus accuminata ssp. glabrata. The fungus used produced
different effects according to the host plant There was no
correlation between the percentage of root infection and the
stimulation of growth in c. equisetifolia, whereas a correlation
existed in Alnus accuminata ssp. glabrata. No fungal specificity
of the endophyte for the host plant was observed. A. accuminata
ssp. glabrata and c. equisetifolia seedlings were successfully
inoculated with Glomus intraradix and isolates of Frankia (Avsi3,
Cci3) simultaneously. The effects of the inoculation treatment on
the growth performance of the seedlings were evaluated under
controlled conditions. The highest growth performance and
mycorrhizal infection occurred when the seedlings were inoculated
simultaneously with Glomus intraradix and Frankia.
