Potasium nutrition in rice under salt stress: role of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis?
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish a symbiotic association with the roots of 80% of terrestrial plants and form complex tree-shaped feeding structures called arbuscules in colonized root cells. This association with AMF not only provides more efficient uptake of nutrients for the plant, but also confers protection against pathogens and increased tolerance to environmental stress such as salt stress [1]. Rice (Oryza sativa), the most salt-sensitive crop species amongst cereals, has a productivity strongly reduced around the world due to soil salinity/salinization and increased sea level (in deltas). High Na+ concentrations (salt stress conditions) impairs K+ uptake and inhibits man…
Recherche de systèmes de transport de potassium impliqués dans le transfert de K+ de la mycorhize arbusculaire au riz lors d'interactions symbiotiques
Les champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (CMA) développent des connexions interdépendantes avec les racines d'environ 90% des espèces végétales. Ces interactions augmentent la disponibilité ainsi que la translocation des nutriments (en particulier N et P), et améliorent ainsi la nutrition et la croissance des plantes. De plus, la résistance à une variété de stress, parmi lesquels le stress salin, s'est avérée améliorée par les interactions CMA-plante, par exemple chez le riz. Des recherches intenses pour expliquer les mécanismes moléculaires des interactions bénéfiques CMA-plante ont conduit à l'identification de transporteurs de phosphate et d'ammonium impliqués dans les échanges de nutri…
Search for potassium transport systems involved in arbuscular mycorrhiza-rice symbiotic interactions
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) develop interdependent connections with roots of about90% of plant species. These interactions increase availability as well as translocation ofnutrients (especially N and P), and thereby improve plant nutrition and growth. Moreover,resistance to a variety of stresses, among which salt stress, has been shown to be improved byAMF-plant interactions, for example in rice. Intense research to explain the molecularmechanisms of AMF-plant beneficial interactions led to the identification of phosphate andammonium transporters involved in nutrient exchanges from AMF to the plant, in several plantspecies. In spite of the importance of potassium (K+) for plant physi…
