Abstract
Excised mycorrhizae of spruce trees, grouped according to state of development and integrity, were tested for their ability to produce fungal and plant specific, soluble carbohydrates from glucose. Trehalose was the principal sugar formed. A strong correlation was found between the rate of trehalose synthesis and the proportion of intact, turgid, young and vigorous appearing mycorrhizae.Keywords
