Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis Col-0 inoculated with AM fungi to test for the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal signalling pathways

ABSTRACT: Around two-thirds of all plant species form arbuscular mycorrhizasa symbiosis between plant roots and glomalean fungi that leads to the formation of intraradical organs of nutrient exchange and an extraradical network of fungal hyphae effectively extending the plant root system. The mycorrhiza plays a key role in plant nutrition and in enhancing plant resistance against pathogens and improving drought resistance. At present very little is known about the molecular basis of arbuscular mycorrhiza formation. Arabidopsis thaliana (as with all Brassicaceae) does not form arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM). Arabidopsis may either have lost essential gene functions or acquired new ones that prevent a successful symbiotic interaction. However given that mycorrhizal symbiosis developed very early during t
