Trema orientalis accession RG33 and Parasponia andersonii accession WU1 differ in mycorrhizal colonisation. A Comparison of mycorrhization efficiency in the root system of P. andersonii WU1 (blue) and T. orientalis RG33 (red) at 2, 4 and 6 weeks post-inoculation with Rhizophagus irregularis DOAM197198. F%: The frequency of mycorrhiza in the root system. M%: the intensity of mycorrhizal colonisation in the root system. A%: Arbuscule abundance in the root system. B a%: Averaged arbuscule abundance detected in 50 randomly selected 1 cm infected segments of a root system. Error bars represent the SE of 10 biological replicates for each 50 × 1 cm root segment that has been analysed. Analysis was done according to Trouvelot et al. (1986) [26]. C Toluidine blue-stained P. andersonii and D T. orientalis root segment visualising R. irregulates arbuscules 6 weeks post-inoculation. Size bar = 10 μm
