Glomus mosseae · mutualism · Allium cepa

AI critic verdicts

• agroecologist · plausible

  “AMF-onion mutualism via arbuscular P transfer is well-established; the flux magnitude and mechanism align with documented mycorrhizal phosphorus-transfer physiology.”

• plant-pathologist · plausible

  “G. mosseae (now Funneliformis mosseae) is a well-established AMF forming arbuscules in Allium cepa roots; P flux via arbuscules is the canonical mutualistic mechanism, and the reported magnitude (~13×10⁻⁹ mol/m²/s) is consistent with published physiological measurements.”

This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
