Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Fungal conidial germination was high near living reed roots and fell to zero in anoxic chamber regions.
- Observation Conidia germinated and showed tropism near air-filled Teflon tubes, less distinctly than near living roots.
- Observation Conidia did not germinate near dead roots in anoxic agar.
- Observation In the aerated chamber margin, most conidia germinated and grew toward dead roots.
- Observation M. bolleyi penetrated several cell layers of living roots.
- Intervention effect Fungal penetration was significantly deeper in illuminated than dark-kept plants.
