Table 1.
Percentage of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in roots of maize and tomato plants from experiments 1 and 2
| Treatment | Experiment 1 |
Experiment 2* | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | Tomato | Maize | |
| Control WW | 0b | 0b | 0b |
| G. intraradices WW | 74a | 68a | 63a |
| Control DS | 0b | 0b | 0b |
| G. intraradices DS | 73a | 70a | 60a |
Within each column, means followed by different letters are significantly different (P < 0·05) as determined by Duncan's multiple range test. WW, well watered; DS, drought stressed.
* The treatment with sodium azide was applied for 50 min just before measurement of root hydraulic conductivities. Thus, no effect of sodium azide on the percentage of AM root colonization was observed.
