Exploring molecular signaling in plant-fungal symbioses using high throughput RNA sequencing.
Plant-fungal symbioses are a common feature in nature. They vary from pathogenic interactions, where fungi subvert plant resources for their own use, to mutualistic associations, where both fungus and host benefit from the interaction. Although the ecological importance of plant-fungal symbioses has long been recognized and the biology of several key associations are now well studied, new techn...

متن کاملCurrent Investigations of Fungal Ectomycorrhizal Communities in the Sierra National Forest1
Progress on two main studies on fungal ectomycorrhizal communities in the Sierra National Forest is discussed. One study examined the short-term effects of ground fire on the ectomycorrhizal community and the other examined the ectomycorrhizal associates of snow plant (Sarcodes sanguinea). In the ground-fire study we found that a large initial reduction in ectomycorrhizal biomass is caused prim...
متن کاملSymbiosis-related plant genes modulate molecular responses in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus during early root interactions.
To gain further insight into the role of the plant genome in arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) establishment, we investigated whether symbiosis-related plant genes affect fungal gene expression in germinating spores and at the appressoria stage of root interactions. Glomus intraradices genes were identified in expressed sequence tag libraries of mycorrhizal Medicago truncatula roots by in silico expre...
متن کاملFriends or foes? Emerging insights from fungal interactions with plants
Fungi interact with plants in various ways, with each interaction giving rise to different alterations in both partners. While fungal pathogens have detrimental effects on plant physiology, mutualistic fungi augment host defence responses to pathogens and/or improve plant nutrient uptake. Tropic growth towards plant roots or stomata, mediated by chemical and topographical signals, has been desc...
