Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect VA mycorrhiza enhanced tissue phosphorus concentration in phosphate deficient soil.
- Intervention effect VA mycorrhiza stimulated root and shoot growth.
- Intervention effect VA mycorrhiza reduced the root to shoot ratio.
- Intervention effect Phosphate addition stimulated growth of nonmycorrhizal plants.
- Intervention effect Phosphate addition enhanced phosphorus status of nonmycorrhizal plants.
- Observation Nonmycorrhizal plants had smaller yields and P concentrations than mycorrhizal plants.
- Intervention effect Phosphate did not change nonmycorrhizal root to shoot ratios.
- Observation Mycorrhizal roots had much higher hydraulic conductivity than uninfected roots.
- Observation Mycorrhizal roots had greater lengths, diameters and total surface areas.
- Observation Root conductivity per unit length was two to three times higher with mycorrhiza.
- Observation Under adequate soil water, mycorrhizal plants had higher transpiration rates and fluxes.
- Observation Under water stress, mycorrhizal plants had higher leaf diffusion resistance.
- Observation Under water stress, mycorrhizal plants wilted more rapidly.
- Observation Mycorrhizal plants extracted moisture to lower water potentials by about 1 MPa.
- Observation After water restoration, mycorrhizal plants recovered turgor more rapidly.
