Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Light intensity strongly influenced mycorrhiza establishment, including the extent of root colonization and the abundance of fungal vesicles in roots, in lettuce.
- Intervention effect Light intensity had significant effects on lettuce plant growth, nutrient content and resistance to Botrytis cinerea.
- Intervention effect The effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis on lettuce growth and nutrient content depended on light intensity.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that mycorrhiza-induced resistance can be uncoupled from mycorrhizal effects on plant nutrition in lettuce.
