Arbuscular Mycorrhiza-Induced Shifts in Foliar Metabolism and Photosynthesis Mirror the Developmental Stage of the Symbiosis and Are Only Partly Driven by Improved Phosphate Uptake

In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) plants, the plant delivers photoassimilates to the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), whereas the mycosymbiont contributes, in addition to other beneficial effects, to phosphate (PO43−) uptake from the soil. Thereby, the additional fungal carbon (C) sink strength in...
