Metabolomic Analysis Of Durum Wheat Roots In Response to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation in Field Conditions

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are commonly occurring fungi that live in an obligate symbiotic status with the majority of land plants. The objective of the present work was to gain insight into the root metabolism changes (primary and secondary metabolism) of durum wheat in response to solely AM fungi inoculation or to combination of AM fungi with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) (Bacillus spp.). Field trial was performed in 2010–2011 in a typical semi-arid Mediterranean area (inner land of Sicily) in absence of fertilization. The untarget metabolomics analysis using the Agilent GC–quadrupole MS identified metabolites playing a key role in symbiosis as well as in root physiol…
