Table 2 P-values of one-way ANOVA evaluating the effect of three soil Zn levels on mycorrhizal pathway of Zn uptake (MPU of Zn) in grain, straw and total plant (grain+straw) (%; μg) and on direct pathway of uptake (DPU of Zn) in grain, straw and total plant (grain+straw) (μg) of bread wheat and barley inoculated with Rhizophagus irregularis. Plants were sampled at physiological maturity (Zadoks growth stage 90)
