Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Stressed AM plants had higher leaf water potential, -1.9 versus -2.5 MPa.
- Intervention effect AM roots accumulated more proline than non-AM roots.
- Intervention effect AM shoots accumulated less proline than non-AM shoots.
- Intervention effect Droughted AM shoots had 55% lower lipid peroxides than non-AM shoots.
- Association Lower oxidative lipid damage did not correlate with antioxidant-enzyme activity in AM plants.
- Mechanism Authors suggest AM symbiosis enhanced root osmotic adjustment to maintain water influx and leaf water potential.
- Mechanism Authors infer cumulative effects increased plant drought tolerance.
