ECM, ectomycorrhizae; ECM.S, ectomycorrhizosphere soil; CK, roots of Quercus aliena without T. indicum partner; CK.S, rhizosphere soil of Quercus aliena without T. indicum partner. Each mean ( ± SD) was calculated from triplicates of the same treatment group. The values followed by different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between the treatment groups in a row.
