ABSTRACT

In this study the effect of endophytic symbiotic Piriformospora indica formulation on growth stages of coriander was determined. The various parameters such as the shoot and root length, length of branches, numbers of leaves and branches, numbers of roots and antimicrobial activity and pyhtochemical analysis of seed extract were investigated. The overall increase in plant biomass and seed yield was found. The treated fungus plants also promoted early germination and increase antibacterial activity of coriander against E.coli and Pseudomonas sp. No anti-yeast activity was observed. The above finding suggested that the P. indica formulation may be used as a plant growth promoter to enhance not only yield but also medicinal value of the plant. Further studies are needed to evaluate the other parameters which were not observed in this study. Keywords: antimicrobial, endophytic, fungus, growth, Piriformospora indica, phytochemical
