Modelling the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to plant phosphate uptake.

In this paper, we investigate the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plant phosphorus nutrition. We develop a mathematical model which quantitatively assesses the contribution of external fungal hyphae to plant phosphate uptake. We derive an equation for solute uptake by a growing fungal myceli...
