Relationship Among Soil Properties And Mycorrhizal Fungi-Liana Association From The Northern Region Of Peninsular Malaysia And The Screening Of Their Phytochemical Properties

The main focus of this study was to determine the presence of association between liana and mycorrhiza. As liana was described by many literatures to have better adaptation during water scarcity season, meanwhile mycorrhiza was known to be helping in nutrient and water uptake of the host it assoc...
