Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter root and foliar responses to fissure-induced root damage stress

Ground subsidence caused by coal mining can produce large amounts of surface ground fissures which may damage the surrounding plant roots. Here, a device was used that simulates root damage and we observed the growth of maize roots in real time, the morphological responses of roots and leaves to fis...
