TL;DR
A synopsis of the recent literature on the interactions between AM fungi and their hosts, with an evolutionary-developmental focus on the intimate contact that develops between plant cells and fungal hyphae, in terms of molecular signaling, nutrient exchange and cell organization is presented.
This study demonstrates that a wild-isolated MFRE strain, Lyc-1, successfully colonizes Arabidopsis roots under monoaxenic conditions without affecting plant growth and establishes Arabidopsis as a genetically tractable model to study plant-fungal symbiosis, thereby opening new opportunities to dissect the molecular ba...
Introduction and Definition: Mycorrhizae are widespread symbiotic associations between fungi and plant roots that extend fungal access into the surrounding soil. The term mycorrhiza describes this close relationship: “A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.” When myco...
It is reported that diffusible signals from A. brasilense can promote rice growth without direct contact between bacteria and plant roots, 7 days post-treatment, and transcriptomic analysis suggests that flavonoids may be required throughout the interaction, whereas nitrate transporters appear to be involved at later s...
Endophytes are microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, which colonize the internal tissues of plants for at least part of their life cycle without causing apparent disease symptoms or adverse effects to the host. Endophytic fungi, also regarded as plant-associated fungi, include a diverse collecti...
