Concentrations of (A, B) palmitic acid, (C, D) fructose, and (E, F) glucose in plant roots and extraradical AM fungal hyphae, within each treatment (control = no symbiont, ‘/’ = a single root system split between the two stated treatments, ‘+’ = both symbionts together on the same roots). All data were collected at 5 weeks post inoculation. Bars represent four biological replicates with the standard error of the mean. Different letters denote significance (A, C & E: linear mixed-effects models were applied to account for the non-independency of split roots belonging to the same plant, Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference test, p < 0.05. B, D, F: one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference test, p < 0.05).
