Which net effect occurs when arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enable stomatal regulation?

A)Increased transpiration rates and cooling
B)Enhanced soil nutrient uptake efficiency
C)Reduced cavitation risk in xylem
D)Decreased carbohydrate translocation demands

💡 Explanation

Enhanced nutrient uptake in plants occurs thanks to the ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to signal optimal opening / closing of stomata via hormonal changes. Stomatal closure therefore lowers transpirational water loss, rather than simply enhancing rate given fungi, because increased resource availability decreases water loss impact.
