Shoot and root dry weight (g), P concentration (mg g^-1 of dry weight) and total P content (mg plant^-1) of pre-mycorrhized (PM) and non-mycorrhized (NM) maize plantlets after 25 days of growth in perlite and after circulation through containers during 42 h of an 90% P-impoverished (i.e., Pi = 6.245 mg L^-1) Hoagland solution.

	Dry weight (g)		P concentration (mg g-1)		P content (mg plant-1)
	Shoot	Root	Shoot	Root	Shoot	Root
PM	3.56 ± 0.08 a	1.55 ± 0.05 a	2.68 ± 0.07 a	1.8 ± 0.11 a	9.51 ± 0.19 a	2.72 ± 0.13 a
NM	3.47 ± 0.08 a	1.54 ± 0.06 a	2.85 ± 0.13 a	1.35 ± 0.04 b	9.86 ± 0.45 a	2.10 ± 0.11 b

Data are mean values and standard errors (SE) of 9 (PM) and 8 (NM) replicates. Values within a column followed by different letters are significantly different (P ≤ 0.05, Student’s t-test).
