Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) plants were inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Acaulospora laevis) to investigate the effects of different concentrations of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP; 0, 10, and 100 mg kg-1) added to soil on their growth. Mycorrhizal plants were less affected by high concentration of DBP (100 mg kg-1) than non-mycorrhizal ones. Also the uptake and transformation of DBP by mycorrhizal plants differed from that of non-mycorrhizal plants.

Keywords: Acaulospora laevis; root and shoot biomass; Vigna sinensis
Subjects: Acaulospora laevis; cowpea, mycorrhiza; di-n-butyl phthalate, mycorrhiza, pollution; growth analysis, plant development, biomass enhancement; mycorrhiza, arbuscular; Vigna sinensis
