Abstract
The objective of the Centre for Mycorrhiza Culture Collection (CMCC), TERI, is characterizing the Mycorrhizal biodiversity that is maintained in the existing Germplasm Bank of CMCC, and creating a ‘Second Generation Germplasm Bank’ that would be a user-friendly culture collection capable of supplying performance evaluated mycorrhiza. CMCC is a mycorrhizal bioresources centre that aims at conservation of mycorrhizal biodiversity by means of collection, propagation, isolation, characterization, and maintenance of cultures under in situ conditions. These mycorrhizal cultures are then sterilized and successfully brought into in vitro condition for mass propagation and preservation. Our endeavour is to preserve the mycorrhizal biodiversity that shows up in morphology, physiology, genetics, and functionality. The objective is to study the rich germplasm that exists among nature, perpetuate them both under in situ as well as in vitro conditions, so that we are capable of supplying them to researchers and industry for its apposite application. To achieve this objective, another addition as an online electronic database has been developed that would make available to researchers an overview of the available arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and ectomycorrhiza fungi (EMF) collection with all the relevant characterized results on a website page. The performance evaluation has been done by characterizing each accession (isolated AMF and EMF) on molecular, biochemical, and functional basis. Consolidated information of each accession has been correlated with its native eco-physiology and an electronic database fact sheet. The information can then be utilized for selecting mycorrhiza from the bank by any researcher for undergoing research or validation of inoculant by any biofertilizer or biopesticide industry.
