What is In vitro mycorrhization of Argania spinosa L. using germinated seeds about?

The beneficial effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth and nutrition of argan plants have been reported in several studies conducted under greenhouse or field conditions. However, none of these studies considered the in vitro mycorrhization of those plants, despite the benefits of this technology on the enhanced survival and fast recovery at transfer to hardening conditions reported in several plants of economic importance (e.g. banana and hevea). In our study, we succeeded for the first time the association of argan plants with an AMF (Rhizophagus irregularis MUCL 41833) under in vitro culture conditions and their successful transfer from in vitro to greenhouse conditions. We tested three argan accessions, Tidzi (TD), Mejji (MJ) and City Hanchan (CH), and grew surface-sterilized seeds in the mycelium donor plant in vitro culture system. Whatever the accession, root colonization, with the presence of arbuscules, vesicles/spores and hyphae, was observed after 8 weeks of growth in the extraradical mycelium network of the fungus, and reached values between circa 30 and 50% of total root colonization after 11 weeks, with significant differences between the accession
