Abstract A potted experiment was carried out to study the effect of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Diversispora
versiformis) and arbuscular mycorrhizal like fungus (Piriformospora indica) on antioxidant enzyme defense system of
Satsuma orange (Citrus sinensis cv. Oita 4) grafted on Poncirus trifoliata under favourable temperature (25°C) and
cold temperature (0°C) for 12 h. Such short-term treatment of cold temperature did not cause any significant change
in root fungal colonization and spore density in soil. Under cold stress, D. versiformis inoculation did not change the
activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) in leaves and roots, whereas P.… More >
