Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Ancient Signalling Mechanisms Co-opted
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycorrhizal root endosymbiosis is an ancient property of land plants. Two parallel studies now provide novel insight into the mechanism driving this interaction and how it is used by other filamentous microbes like pathogenic oomycetes.

The receptor kinase CERK1 has dual functions in symbiosis and immunity signalling.
The establishment of symbiotic interactions between mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobial bacteria and their legume hosts involves a common symbiosis signalling pathway. This signalling pathway is activated by Nod factors produced by rhizobia and these are recognised by the Nod factor receptors NFR1/LYK3 and NFR5/NFP. Mycorrhizal fungi produce lipochitooligosaccharides (LCOs) similar to Nod factors, as ...
متن کاملRhizobium-legume symbiosis shares an exocytotic pathway required for arbuscule formation.
Endosymbiotic interactions are characterized by the formation of specialized membrane compartments, by the host in which the microbes are hosted, in an intracellular manner. Two well-studied examples, which are of major agricultural and ecological importance, are the widespread arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis. In both symbioses, the specialized host membrane ...
متن کاملNuclear calcium changes at the core of symbiosis signalling.
Many plants acquire a significant proportion of their nutrient requirements through mutualistic symbiotic interactions with micro-organisms. Legumes in particular acquire the macronutrients nitrogen and phosphorus, and most likely an array of micro-nutrients, from interactions with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and with mycorrhizal fungi. Although the structures formed to support these interactions ...
متن کاملThe regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis by phosphate in pea involves early and systemic signalling events
Most plants form root symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which provide them with phosphate and other nutrients. High soil phosphate levels are known to affect AM symbiosis negatively, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. This report describes experimental conditions which triggered a novel mycorrhizal phenotype under high phosphate supply: the interaction between pea...
متن کاملIntraradical colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi triggers induction of a lipochitooligosaccharide receptor
Functional divergence of paralogs following gene duplication is one of the mechanisms leading to evolution of novel pathways and traits. Here we show that divergence of Lys11 and Nfr5 LysM receptor kinase paralogs of Lotus japonicus has affected their specificity for lipochitooligosaccharides (LCOs) decorations, while the innate capacity to recognize and induce a downstream signalling after per...
