A greenhouse pot experiment with different phosphorus supply was conducted to study growth, photosynthesis and free polyamine (PA) concentration in Plantago lanceolata plants in relation to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization. Inoculum of Glomus fasciculatum (BEG 53) was used. Inoculated plants had high colonization intensities which were related to the P supply. Non-mycorrhizal (NM) plants showed a typical yield response curve for P availability. Dry masses of mycorrhizal (M) plants were higher at the lowest soil P concentration than those of NM plants, but the opposite was found at the highest P supply. P contents in M plants were always higher. There were no differences in chlorophyll (Chl) concentrations (except the lowest soil P content) and ratios of variable to maximum Chl fluorescence (Fv/Fm) values between M and NM plants, whereas M plants had higher ratios of leaf area to fresh mass (A/f.m.) at low soil P concentrations and they had significantly higher CO2 fixation capacities per unit leaf area. Free putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) concentrations in NM plants were usually highest at the lowest P supply. The ratios of Put/(Spd+Spm) were identical in M and NM leaves. They were significantly higher, however, in NM roots at the two low P doses. It is concluded, that a P nutritional status might exist, below which PA concentrations and ratio are increased drastically, possibly indicating P deficiency or a certain state of plant development with a higher demand for AM symbiosis.
