Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “As well, Vigo et al. (2000) observed that tomato plants Lycopersicon esculentum colonized by Glomus mosseae had reduced infection by the soil pathogen Phytophthora parasitica relative to plants not colonized by G. mosseae, with results showing 39% fewer infection loci from the pathogen seven days…”
Plant pathogen protection by arbuscular mycorrhizas: a role for fungal diversity? (2010, background): “Alternatively, branching of the tomato root system was not affected by inoculation with G. mosseae, but decreased the number of infection loci of Phytophthora parasitica (Vigo et al. 2000).”
Suppression of Rhizoctonia root-rot of tomato by Glomus mossae BEG12 and Pseudomonas fluorescens A6RI is associated with their effect on the pathogen growth and on the root morphogenesis (2005, background): “The number of infections by the root-rot pathogen Phytophthora parasitica was also shown to be reduced when protected by AM fungi (Cordier et al. 1996; Vigo et al., 2000).”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “1 b,c-d) which in turn will increase the surface area for nutrient absorption although this response may not be universal (Forbes et al. 1996; Vigo et al. 2000).”
