Abstract

A modified technique for staining roots to detect VA mycorrhizas is described. It eliminates as many toxic compounds as possible from root fixation/staining procedures without reducing the resolution of the staining. Success has been achieved with angiosperm, fern, lycopod and psilophyte roots and bryophyte. © 1989, British Mycological Society. All rights reserved.
