Root colonisation by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal structures (a), and normalised expression of the AMF biomass marker gene α-tubulin (b) in the roots of Medicago truncatula plants inoculated with the AMF R. irregularis, and grown at different soil Zn (Zn0-Zn20) and P (P0-P50) concentrations. Values are mean ± SEM, n = 5. Means labelled with the same letter were not significantly different at the P < 0.05 level (Tukey’s HSD), see Table 2 for details of ANOVA results.
