Abstract

Artemisia annua L. (Asteraceae) is an important medicinal plant whose secondary metabolite artemisinin is used for the treatment of cerebral malaria. A study was undertaken to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Glomus mosseae, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus intraradices and two free living nitrogen fixing bacteria (NFB) (identified as Bacillus subtilis and Stenotrophomonas spp. through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis), inoculated alone or in combinations on the biomass, nutrient uptake, and content of artemisinin in A. annua under glass house conditions. Various parameters like plant height, total plant biomass, NPK content, leaf yield, mycorrhizal colonization, bacterial population in rhizosphere, phosphatase activity and artemisinin content were determined and found to vary with different treatments. Among all the treatments, plants inoculated with G. mosseae+B. subtilis performed better than any other treatment or uninoculated control plants. The results of the experiment clearly indicated the compatibility and synergy between G. mosseae and B. subtilis and suggested the use of this microbial consortium in A. annua for enhancing growth, biomass yield, and the content and yield of artemisinin.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Combinations of G. mosseae + Bacillus subtilis and G. fasciculatum + Bacillus subtilis resulted in a significant increase in artemisinin content, 26.2 and 24.6%, respectively, in A. annua.

    “Awasthi et al. (2011) used four species of AM fungi Glomus, namely G . mosseae , G. aggregatum , G. intraradices and G. fasciculatum, nitrogen fixing bacteria namely Stenotrophomonas spp. and Bacillus subtilis , and showed that combinations of G. mosseae + Bacillus subtilis and G. fasciculatum + Bacillus subtilis resulted in a significant increase in artemisinin content, 26.2 and 24.6%, respective”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
