Effect of the pea (Pisum sativum L.) gene PsSym36 on Glomus intraradices gene expression

2007

International audience; The Pisum sativum L. mutant RisNod24 (Pssym36) is defective for arbuscular mycorrhiza formation in late stages of AM. Recent studies identified some plant genes up- and down- regulated at stage of arbuscular development using pea mutant RisNod24, but nothing is still known about fungal gene inactivation. To investigate effect of PsSym36 pea gene on fungal gene expression, Glomus intraradices genes which have been previously identified as markers of successful symbiosis development (Seddas et al., unpublished results) were chosen. List of AM genes used in this study: signalling, transcription, protein turn-over (RHO/GDP dissociation inhibitor, Peptidylprolyl isomerase…

Arbuscular mycorhizal proteomes: what news at the nearby and distant horizon?

2007

International audience; Proteomics has soon emerged as a powerful tool to point out protein modifications in roots interacting with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi. Depending on the developmental mycorrhizal stage and on the available amount of mycorrhizal material, untargeted and/or sub-cellular proteomic approaches were applied to reveal and identify proteins whose accumulation was modified during the AM colonisation of Medicago truncatula roots. For the early stage of symbiosis, the protein patterns obtained from noninoculated roots and roots synchronized for appressorium formation in wild-type (Jemalong J5), penetration-defective (TRV25, dmi3) and autoregulation-defective (TR122, sunn)…

Changes in polypeptide profiles of two pea genotypes inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae

1994

The symbiotic interaction between pea roots ('Pisum sativum' L.) and the endomycorrhizal fungus 'Glomus mosseae' should lead to specific gene expression of both symbionts. In order to detect symbiosis-related proteins (endomycorrhizins), we used two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) after phenolic extraction of total soluble proteins. Furthermore, to better characterize the molecular changes after fungal infection, two pea genotypes available in our laboratory were used: cv. Frisson (myc⁺) and an isogenic mycorrhiza-resistant mutant (myc⁻). The latter prevents intraradical fungal development. Several differences were observed in polypeptide patterns of silver-stained …

Genes encoding transcription factors in Glomus intraradices and their expression at the appressoria stage of arbuscular mycorrhiza interactions

2007

International audience; Molecular pathways governing the life cycle of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and their symbiotic interactions with root tissues are not yet fully understood. Most studies fo fungal responses to host plants have targeted developmental stages before root contact (germinating spores), or after root colonization (intraradical mycelium). We are focusing on the early cell events of appressoria contact with the root surface which are essential to the successful outcome of the AM symbiosis. Recent monitoring of Glomus intraradices gene expression at this stage has revealed differential fungal responses to roots of host and non-host (Myc- mutants) M. truncatula (Seddas et…

Is this fungus everywhere? Elucidating the genetic structure of populations of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices

2010

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) are ubiquitous mutualistic associates of plants. Only relatively recently it has become possible to study the population biology of some species of these fungi. The model organism Glomus intraradices has been found across an extremely wide range of habitats and succession stages on different continents using molecular identification approaches. We used regions of the mitochondrially-encoded rDNA as novel molecular markers to resolve the intraspecies structure of G. intraradices and found a high diversity of mitochondrial haplotypes among isolates from all over the world. These markers for the first time also offer to genotype G. intraradices dire…

Mitochondrial genotyping of isolates of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus "Glomus intraradices" from the isolate collection of the International Bank…

2011

International audience; The culture collection of the International Bank of Glomeromycota (BEG) provides an important service to scientific community and industry by acting as a repository for well-defined AMF isolates which are made available to the public. The most widely-used species has been referred to as "Glomus intraradices", and was recently renamed Rhizophagus irregularis. This species has emerged as a model organism for experimental research and is the subject of the first AMF genome to be sequenced. The only genetic marker that can currently be used to distinguish strains of R. irregularis in field settings is the mitochondrial large subunit (mtLSU). In addition, genetically dist…

Expression of Sorghum bicolor ammonium transporters upon colonization with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

2012

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important plant symbionts, trading mineral nutrients beyond the reach of roots, in particular ammonium, in exchange to their host’s photosynthetic products. Sorghum bicolor is one of the world's leading cereal crops, providing food, fibre and fuel across a range of environments and production systems. It has a particular ability to be productive even under strongly adverse conditions, tolerating much more severe drought than most other grain crops. As its genome has recently been sequenced, we have characterized all eight members of the ammonium transporter (AMT) family and studied their expression in different tissues of field-grown plants. While most…
