Table 1. Percentage of mycorrhizal colonization, vesicles and arbuscules formation in sorghum roots under well-watered (WW) and water deficit (WD) conditions.
Values are means ± SD of root segment observations from represents no significant differences among treatments according LSD test (p ≤ 0.05). * WW and WD represent well-watered and water deficit in nonmycorrhizal plants, while **WWM and WDM correspond to well-watered and water deficit mycorrhizal plants, respectively.
