Summary

Method to quantify arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) in plant roots.


EPrint Type:Practice tool
What problem does the tool address?:Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) root colonization is traditionally measured by microscopy. Roots are first stained and then carefully mounted on a glass slide before examination on the microscope to identify and count fungal structures inside the roots. But microscopy is labor-intensive, and results depend on the observer.
What solution does the tool offer?:Methods such as, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) can improve quantification and analysis of AMF. This practice abstract provides a short protocol describing qPCR as a method to quantify AMF in plant roots.
