Effect of flavonoids on in-vitro proliferation of hyphae of Glomus fistulosum

Abstract

Biochanin A, luteolin, naringenin and quercetin significantly decreased the percentage of root segments bearing the intraradicaI proliferating hyphae of Glomus fistulosum at the concentrations up to 10 μmol dm-3. The growth of hyphae was inhibited by biochanin A and luteolin whereas no significant effects of quercetin and naringenin were observed.
