Abstract: | The role of mycorrhizal infection in the resistance of Vaccinium macrocarpon to manganese was investigated in perlite culture containing nutrient solution amended with Mn at 0, 250, 500 or 1000 g/ml. Shoot and root dry weights of the mycorrhizal plants were higher than nonmycorrhizal plants. The mycorrhizal plants produced significantly longer main roots than the nonmycorrhizal plants. Differences between shoot and root Mn concentrations of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants arose by reduction of Mn in the leaves of mycorrhizal plants and a corresponding increase in root tissues. |
