Sensitive approach and future perspectives in microscopic patterns of mycorrhizal roots

Abstract The harmonization of methodologies for the assessment of radicular endophytic colonization is a current necessity, especially for the arbuscular mycorrhizas. The functionality of mycorrhizal symbionts for plants can be described only by indicators obtained based on microscopic analysis. Tha...
