In natural ecosystems, many plants are able to establish mutually beneficial symbioses with microorganisms. Of critical importance to sustainable agriculture are the symbioses formed between more than 80% of terrestrial plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and between legumes and nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria. Interestingly, the two symbioses share overlapping signaling pathways in legumes, suggesting that the evolutionarily recent root nodule symbiosis may have acquired function...

Fungal Symbiosis in Rice Requires an Ortholog of a Legume Common Symbiosis Gene Encoding a Ca^sup 2+^/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase1[OA]
Plant Physiology ; In natural ecosystems, many plants are able to establish mutually beneficial symbioses with microorganisms. Of critical importance to sustainable agriculture are the symbioses formed between more than 80% of terrestrial plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and between legumes and
Transcript profiling coupled with spatial expression analyses reveals genes involved in distinct developmental stages of an arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis(W)
Plant Cell ; The formation of symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is a phenomenon common to the majority of vascular flowering plants. Here, we used cDNA arrays to examine transcript profiles in Medicago truncatula roots during the development of an AM symbiosis with Glomus versiforme
Feasible Bioremediation through Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Imparting Heavy Metal Tolerance: A Retrospective
Bioremediation Journal ; ABSTRACT Bioremediation is an integrated management of a polluted ecosystem where different organisms are employed to catalyze the natural processes that decontaminate the environment. The potential role of bioremediation, particularly higher terrestrial plants (phytoremediation) research in the
The glyoxylate cycle in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus. Carbon flux and gene expression
Plant Physiology ; The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is responsible for huge fluxes of photosynthetically fixed carbon from plants to the soil. Lipid, which is the dominant form of stored carbon in the fungal partner and which fuels spore germination, is made by the fungus within the root and is exported to
Differential expression of a metallothionein gene during the presymbiotic versus the symbiotic phase of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus
Plant Physiology ; Differential Expression of a Metallothionein Gene during the Presymbiotic versus the Symbiotic Phase of an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus1 A full-length cDNA encoding a metallothionein (MT)-like polypeptide, designated GmarMT1, was identified in an expressed sequence tag collection from germinated
Detection of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in an east Texas forest by analysis of SSU rRNA gene sequence.
The Texas Journal of Science ; Abstract. -- PCR amplification of a region of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequence with Glomeromycota-specific primers was used to detect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the roots of Chasmanthium sessiliforum (Poir.) Yates (longleaf woodoats) from the east Texas Pineywoods. Nineteen
The Mycorrhizal Fungus Gigaspora margarita Possesses a CuZn Superoxide Dismutase That Is Up-Regulated during Symbiosis with Legume Hosts1
Plant Physiology ; A full-length cDNA showing high similarity to previously described CuZn superoxide dismutases (SODs) was identified in an expressed sequence tag collection from germinated spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita (BEG 34). The corresponding gene sequence, named GmarCuZnSOD,
Translocation and utilization of fungal storage lipid in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
Plant Physiology ; Translocation and Utilization of Fungal Storage Lipid in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis[w] The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is responsible for huge fluxes of photosynthetically fixed carbon from plants to the soil. Carbon is transferred from the plant to the fungus as hexose, but the
They just want to be cool. (corporate culture at Symbiosis Corp.) (company profile)
Florida Trend ; It doesn't take long on a visit to Symbiosis Corp. before you start to think: Delta House. As in Animal House, repository for the likes of Otter, Bluto, Flounder, Pinto and, of course, Eric Stratton, rush chairman, damn glad to meet ya. OK, that may be stretching it. At Symbiosis, they don't have
Carbon export from arbuscular mycorrhizal roots involves the translocation of carbohydrate as well as lipid
Plant Physiology ; Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi take up photosynthetically fixed carbon from plant roots and translocate it to their external mycelium. Previous experiments have shown that fungal lipid synthesized from carbohydrate in the root is one form of exported carbon. In this study, an analysis of the
