Vesicular Arbuscular mycorrhizae in two curcuma species of medicinal importance
Ghazala Nasim
ABSTRACT
Two plants of medicinal importance viz. Kachoor (Curcuma
zodoaria Roseoe) and Haldi (C. longa L.) were examined for
the presence of Vesicular Arbuscular mycorrhizae. Not
only were VA mycorrhizae recorded in the roots but also
in other portions such as scales on the rhizomes and
epidermis of the root tubers (so called Maju). Scales of
Kachoor had many kinds of spores, majority of which were
formed by a Glomus sp.
