FORMATION OF EXTERNAL HYPHAE IN SOIL BY FOUR SPECIES OF VESICULAR‐ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI
Abstract
Summary: The ability of several species of vesicular–arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi to form hyphae in soil was compared in two glasshouse experiments. We measured the length of hyphae in soil and related this to the length of infected root. Species of VA mycorrhizal fungi differed in the length of external hyphae produced per cm of infected root. Glomus fasciculatum (Thaxter sensu Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe produced less external hyphae per cm infected root than did Gigaspora calospora (Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerd. at all harvest times and when inoculum was either placed in a band below the seed or mixed throughout the soil. Glomus tenue (Greenall) Hall and Acaulospora laevis Gerd. and Trappe both produced similar lengths of external hyphae per cm infected root to that formed by G. calospora. Differences among isolates of VA mycorrhizal fungi in the distribution of hyphae in soil may be as important as differences in the length of external hyphae when selecting fungi that are effective at increasing nutrient uptake.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
