Figure 1: Comparable mycorrhizal symbiosis in all tested plant species at 62 days post inoculation.
From: High specificity in plant leaf metabolic responses to arbuscular mycorrhiza
(a) Development of total root length colonization (TRLC) of mycorrhizal plants over time (d.p.i., days post inoculation). (b) Length of extra-radical (er) hyphae of mycorrhizal plants over time. (c) TRLC of mycorrhizal plants at 62 d.p.i. as Box-Whisker plots. Different letters indicate significant differences in post-hoc Tukey HSD tests (P<0.05). (d) Length of er hyphae of mycorrhizal plants related to the dry weight of the growth substrate at 62 d.p.i. as Box-Whisker plots. Different letters indicate significant differences in post-hoc Kruskal mc tests (P<0.05). (e) Proportions of fungal structures for individual replicates of mycorrhizal plants at 62 d.p.i. (a–e) Pl, Plantago lanceolata; Pm, Plantago major; Vc, Veronica chamaedrys; Mt, Medicago truncatula; Pa, Poa annua. The Box-Whisker plots show the median (horizontal line), the interquartile range (box) and the whiskers (extending to the 5 and 95% percentile, respectively); n=10 biological replicates at 62 d.p.i.
