A sensitive bioassay was developed to provide a way to detect chemical signals from host plants which induce changes in hyphal growth patterns of germinated spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The assay can be used to test host root exudates, as well as particulate fractions (root cap border cells and root mucilage), for their ability to affect AM fungal growth. Hyphal branching, induced by various host root components, can be detected as early as 4 h although results of the bioassay were usually determined after 16 to 24 h. The type of branching pattern observed was dose-dependent.
