Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect AM colonization increased transplant survival versus uninoculated and H. ericae inoculated controls.
- Intervention effect AM colonization increased transplant growth by over 100% versus controls.
- Intervention effect AM colonization increased root, stem and leaf weights.
- Intervention effect AM colonization increased leaf area, root length and specific leaf area.
- Intervention effect AM colonization decreased root length to leaf area ratio, root to shoot weight ratio and specific root length.
- Intervention effect AM infection increased phosphorus uptake and leaf phosphorus concentration.
- Observation Infection developed most rapidly with G. mosseae.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not significantly affect adventitious root or first through third order lateral lengths.
- Intervention effect AM colonization increased branching intensity in all root orders.
- Intervention effect First order lateral branch density rose from under 100 to over 300 branches per meter.
- Intervention effect First order laterals represented 36% of AM infected versus 55% of control root systems.
- Intervention effect Second order laterals represented 50% of AM colonized versus 25% of control root systems.
- Intervention effect G. intraradices increased root diameter.
- Observation Anatomical studies found no overall root tip form change.
- Observation Anatomical studies found changes in root cap diameter, cell number and cell size.
- Intervention effect Hymenoscyphus ericae increased duration of the metaphase index.
- Intervention effect Both AM fungal treatments increased soluble protein concentrations in root extracts.
- Intervention effect Both AM fungal treatments modified root protein profiles by eliminating and adding PAGE bands.
- Mechanism The authors conclude AM effects on roots were not all attributable to improved phosphorus nutrition or physiological age.
