Laccaria bicolor Mobilizes both Labile Aluminum and Inorganic Phosphate in Rhizosphere Soil of Pinus massoniana Seedlings Field-grown in a Yellow Acidic Soil.

This study advances our understanding of the contribution of ECM fungi in the plant-ECM fungus symbiosis and highlights the vital role of ECM fungus inoculation in plant Al-tolerance. In addition, the results described in the present study confirm the importance to carry out studies in field compared to the previous results from in vitro study. Our findings strengthen the role of ECM fungus association in exploring, utilizing and transporting the unavailable nutrients in the soil to enhance the host plant growth and adaptability in response to adverse habitats.
