Nutrient uptake: contributions of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to plant mineral nutrition

E George - Arbuscular mycorrhizas: physiology and function, 2000 - Springer
The colonization of plant roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM] fungi can greatly affect the
plant uptake of mineral nutrients. It may also protect plants from harmful elements in soil. The …
