Mycorrhizal status impacts the genetic architecture of mineral accumulation in field grown maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)

M. Li, S. Perez-Limon, M. R. Ramirez-Flores, B. Barrales-Gamez, M. A. Meraz-Mercado, G. Ziegler, I. Baxter, V. Olalde-Portugal, R. J. Sawers

This study shows that mycorrhizal fungi affect the genetic basis of mineral accumulation in maize, altering nutrient and toxic element concentrations in leaves and grain.
