Mycorrhizal Fungi Can Dominate Phosphate Supply to Plants Irrespective of Growth Responses1

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are vital components of nearly all terrestrial ecosystems, forming mutually beneficial (mutualistic) symbioses with the roots of around 80% of vascular plants and often increasing phosphate (P) uptake and growth. We present novel data showing that AM fungi can
