Hi,
This is starting to make sense... I have started chasing on the internet, the link between some mycorrhizal fungi's production of gibberellin-like compounds (gibberellic acid, a growth enhancer), and how they affect plant growth. So if I am reading into this properly, some strains of mycorrhizal fungi produce compunds that are similar to plant growth hormones (I bet Lon covered this and I missed it). Now I need to find an online thesis that explains the "gibberellic acid-like compounds" produced by mycorrhiza fungi. Do you have any specific knowledge Lon? I will let you know what I find. Regards,
"Lon J. Rombough" wrote: Gibberellic Acid (GA) is a plant growth hormone that causes elongation of shoots, and reduces or eliminates dormancy in seeds. It is also the same hormone used to increase set and berry size in seedless grapes. GA is also sold as "tomato set" as it will make tomatoes set, usually with very few seeds in the fruits. It was first isolated from a fungus that causes "crazy rice" disease in which rice plants get excessively elongated stems, making the plant fall over. --
