MycoPatt method permits an in depth exploration of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in roots. Mycorrhizal maps point to fungal expansion and present the real position of each structure as a specific pattern. Mycorrhizal colonization is objectiv

The protocol here describes the methods for the assessment of the arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization patterns and strategy in roots for two species: Zea mays and Festuca rubra. The use of the MycoPatt method permits the calculation of parameters, the conversion of mycorrhizal structures into digital data, and the mapping of their real position in roots.
