Plant choice between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species results in increased plant P acquisition.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant root symbionts that provide phosphorus (P) to plants in exchange for photosynthetically fixed carbon (C). Previous research has shown that plants-given a choice among AMF species-may preferentially allocate C to AMF species that provide more P. However, t...
