Abstract

The mitotic cycle in root apical meristems of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants of Allium porrum L.+Glomus sp., strain E₃, has been examined by³H-TdR labelling. Significant slowing down of the mitotic cycle in the mycorrhizas through an extension of G₁, S and metaphase was observed, while G₂ was drastically reduced. Lengthening of the cycle was proportional to increasing infection. The ways in which the fungus could influence cell division are discussed.
