The Fungal Endophyte Does Not Affect Phosphorus Status but Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Tomato Plants.

Some members of the root endophytic Serendipitaceae were observed to frequently coexist with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), but their interactions and potential synergistic effects in plants have not yet been well elucidated. Here, we inoculated three-week-old tomato seedlings with or alone or in combination with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and cultivated the plants in a greenhouse until the late vegetative stage. Our data show that the simultaneous presence of spp.
