AM-colonization of temperate rice japonica rice cultivars. Roots from AM-inoculated temperate japonica rice cultivars were collected and analyzed (10 weeks post-inoculation). a Cotton blue staining of rice roots colonized by F. mosseae (Fm) or R. irregularis (Ri). The typical fungal structures were observed, such as extraradical hyphae (eh), intracellular hyphae (ih), arbuscules (a), vesicles (v), and spores (sp). Scale bar = 100 μm. b-c Estimation of AM fungal colonization according to the Trouvelot method b F%, frequency of mycorrhiza in the root system, and c a%, arbuscule abundance in mycorrhizal parts of root fragments. d Appearance of roots of rice plants inoculated with AM fungi. Representative pictures are presented. Increased pigmentation is observed in AMF-roots (grey bar)
