Sun, S. And Xu, G. 2009. Sugar transport in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. Can. J. Plant. Sci. 89: 257-263. In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses, there is a reciprocal nutrient exchange, mainly
sugar and phosphate, between partners. Transport of phosphate from fungus to plant has been well characterized, and this aspect of AM symbiosis has been reviewed. This mini-review is specifically devoted to sugar transport
from plant to fungus in AM symbiosis and discusses the possible links between sugar transporters and AM-inducible inorganic phosphate (Pi) transporters and plasma membrane proton-ATPases in the arbuscule-cortical cell interface. Exploring the sugar transport mechanisms Could further contribute to our understanding of
nutrient exchange between the two symbiotic partners. |
