Plant–Fungal Interactions in Mycorrhizas

摘要: Mycorrhizas are widespread symbiotic associations established between the roots of majority land plants, and a heterogeneous group beneficial fungi belonging to diverse fungal taxa. Their ubiquitous presence argues that they have been favoured during evolution thanks benefits gained by both plant partners. Advances in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology coupled high-throughput sequencing allowed genomes some symbionts be studied, as well molecular basis cross-talk fungus. We beginning see contributions partners functioning mycorrhizal associations. Advanced microscopy living partner cells has unravelled processes determining compatibility which peculiar feature interactions. Key Concepts: The term Mycorrhiza comes from two Greek words for ‘fungus’ ‘root’ describes root–fungus may morphologically functionally diverse. Molecular approaches solved questions about identity free soil root associated structures. Nutritional interactions among plants rhizosphere saprotrophic, pathogenic or symbiotic. Recent advances genome ectomycorrhizal identify basic features characteristic fungi, is absence effectors elicit defence. Transcriptome profiles reveal differential regulation fungus. Glomeromycota possess (i.e. an obligate biotrophic status multinucleated hyphae) at moment limit full understanding their biology. Many model compatible hosts arbuscular fungi. The transduction signalling pathways control establishment legume/rhizobium nodule formation least partly same. Plant undergo complex cellular reprogramming when accommodate AM fungus. The core mycorrhiza lies interface partners.
