  1. The five parts in Table 1 are the five growth stages of maize, which are V12 (twelve-leaf stage), VT (tasseling stage), R1 (silking stage), R2 (blister stage), and R4 (dough stage stage). Each growth stage included five treatments, namely RA (maize inoculated with R. aggratus), CE (maize inoculated with C. etunicatum), FM (maize inoculated with F. mosseae), MI (maize inoculated with the above three kinds of AMF), and CK (maize without AMF inoculation). Lower case letters in figures differently indicate significant differences between treatments (p<0.05)
