Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) generally enhances uptake and translocation of P and encourages plant growth and development in nutrient-deficient soils. Contradictory reports about the role of VAM in S uptake and translocation may result from insufficient consideration of soil S status. In this study, using soils of low S status, VAM inoculation increased the content of radioactively labelled S (35S) in shoots of maize plants. Key words: Maize plant, S-uptake, Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi
