| Abstract: | The effect of different concentrations (0.5, 2 and 8 μM) of apigenin and its glycosidated form 5,7,4′-hydroxy flavone glycoside on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal spore germination, hyphal growth, hyphal branching, the formation of entry points and root colonization of Gigaspora. rosea, Gi. margarita, Glomus mosseae and G. intraradices was tested. The lowest apigenin concentration (0.5 μM) nearly doubled hyphal branching, the formation of entry points and root colonization of all four tested fungi, whereas higher concentrations (2 and 8 μM) nearly doubled the hyphal growth of Gi. margarita, G. mosseae and G. intraradices. In none of the treatments with the apigenin-glycoside any effect on AM fungi could be observed. Our data show that apigenin exhibits an AM fungal genus and even species activity and we provide strong evidence that glycosidation results in a loss of its activity towards AM fungi. |
