The AM colonization pattern resembles typical
Paris-type with intracellular hyphal coils, arbusculate
coils (Fig. 1e), and intracellular vesicles.
The aseptate AM fungal hyphae was 5.82 ± 0.36
μm in diameter forming hyphal coils in the cortical
cells (Fig. 1f). Arbuscules are formed on these
hyphal coils with their thin branches in older parts
of the roots degenerating to amorphous clumps.
Vesicles were oval, terminal, thick walled measuring
70.52 ± 6.61 × 41.28 ± 4.21μm and occurred
intracellularly (Fig. 1g). The percentage of root
length with AM colonization was 30.23 ± 5.31 %.
Similarly, the percentage of root length with AM
fungal hyphal coils, arbusculate coils and vesicles
was 12.60 ± 1.84 %, 16.32 ± 2.74% and 1.28 ±
0.24 % respectively.
