X-ray microanalysis of elements of VA mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal Pennisetum pedicellatum roots.
Chemical composition of inter and intracellular hyphae was elucidated in Pennisetum pedicellatum roots colonized by Gigaspora margarita by employing energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. Maximum amount of phosphate was estimated in polyphosphate granules present in the roots. Amount of phosphate was low in fungal hyphae, arbuscular trunks and degenerated arbuscules. Elements S, K and Ca were present in the hyphae, arbuscular trunk and degenerated arbuscules.
