Different letters (a, b, c, d, e) indicate a significant difference of Tukey’s post hoc test (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; ns, not significant) between all treatments. NM, non-AMF plants; G. etunicatum, plants inoculated with G. etunicatum; F. mosseae, plants inoculated with F. mosseae; M-seedling, inoculated by the seedling method; M-seed, inoculated by the seed method. Values are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 6, which are treatment replicates).
