Figure S1. ROOT AND SHOOT FRESH WEIGHTS IN TOMATO PLANTS, SOYBEAN AND MAIZE COLONIZED BY F. mosseae (Fm) OR R. irregularis (Ri).

Nm indicates control non-mycorrhizal plants. Numbers represent the average of 5 independent replicates ±SE. Data not sharing a letter in common differ significantly (P ≤0.05) according to DMS’s test.
