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.
