• Diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the roots of perennial plants and their effect on plant performance (2004, background): “These effects are largely due to improved P nutrition, which is demonstrated by the appearance of the same effects in plants grown in conditions of higher P availability (Poulton et al. 2002).”
• Beneficial Soil Microorganisms, an Ecological Alternative for Soil Fertility Management (2011, background): “Improved vegetative (leaf area, days until first flower, leaf P concentration) and reproductive traits (total flower production, fruit mass, seed number, pollen production per plant, mean pollen production per flower) Poulton et al. (2002)”
• Fruit production and quality of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are affected by green compost and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, background): “Poulton et al. (2001, 2002) showed that mycorrhizal tomatoes produce more seeds and fruits compared to control ones; moreover the symbiosis improved leaf area, flower number, female and male reproductive functions, fruit number, and seed quality.”
• How do belowground organisms influence plant–pollinator interactions? (2015, unknown): “Although increases in fruit or seed production on AMF-colonized plants are documented (Gange and Smith 2005; Poulton et al. 2002), this increase may be due to either the direct effects of mycorrhizal nutrient uptake or changes in pollination (or by the combined effects of both).”
• Effects of mycorrhizal fungi on plant populations (2002, background): “For two cultivars of Lycopersicon esculentum, reproductive trait responses to mycorrhizal colonization were greater than leaf area response (Poulton, 2000; Poulton et al., 2002).”
• Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence visitation rates of pollinating insects (2005, background): “AM fungi are known to increase the size of pollen grains and the total amount of pollen per flower (Lau et al., 1995; Poulton et al., 2002) and it has been shown that flowers on mycorrhizal plants are more attractive to insects that require pollen.”
