VIRUS INFECTION COURSE IN DIFFERENT PLANT SPECIES UNDER INFLUENCEOF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA

Abstract

The results of the research aimed to study the influence of plants root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices on virus infection development are presented in the paper. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) - Nicotiana tabacum model was used for the experiment. TMV - Lycopersicon esculentum and Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) - Cucumis sativus were used as important agricultural plants. Microscopy, molecular and serological methods were used in the experiment. It was shown that arbuscular mycorrhiza inhibits the plant virus infection development in Nicotiana tabacum and Cucumis sativus plants but not in Lycopersicon esculentum.
