Table 2. Measurement of the extent of Glomus fasciculatum colonization in roots of Solanum lycopersicum cv 76R (wt) and its colonization deficient mutant (rmc). The colonization parameters were calculated using Mycocalc software and represent mean % values of 30 root fragments per plant for 3 plants per treatment, along with standard deviations.
