Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus amendment inhibits hyphal branching of the VAM fungus Gigaspora margarita directly and indirectly through its effect on root exudation
TL;DR: Gigaspora margarita spores grown in the presence of P showed significantly less hyphal branching than those exposed to exudates produced by P-stressed roots, which could contribute to the observed inhibition of mycorrhiza formation by high P.
Journal ArticleDOI
The differential effects of cell wall-associated phenolics, cell walls, and cytosolic phenolics of host and non-host roots on the growth of two species of AM fungi.
TL;DR: Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that cellular compounds, especially wall-associated compounds, released during emergence of secondary roots, stimulate the growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and should increase the probability of contact between fungus and host root.
