Changes in mineral content in roots and leaves of control and mycorrhizal plants.

Mineral	Unit	Roots	Leaves
		RM/RC	LM/LC
Ca	µg/mg	2.09	0.58*
K	µg/mg	0.87*	1.19*
Zn	µg/mg	0.78	1.19
Cu	ng/mg	2.58*	1.86*
Mg	µg/mg	0.49*	1.38*
Fe	µg/mg	0.60	1.64*
P	µg/mg	1.67*	0.97

Values represent the mineral nutrient content ratio between roots and leaves of control (C) and mycorrhizal (M) plants collected 50 days post AM fungus inoculation (two-tailed t test; **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05).
