This research aims to examine the diversity and activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in coffee plants grown in Brazilian Cerrado.
Characterized 35 Coffea arabica genotypes grown in Brazilian Cerrado.
Assessed spore density, root colonization, and community composition through morphological characterization and multivariate analyses.
Used CCA, PCA, and hierarchical clustering for data analysis.
Detected 13 AMF genera, indicating significant community diversity.
No significant differences in spore density or root colonization among genotypes (p > 0.05).
Observed predominantly generalist symbiotic patterns in uniform conditions.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
