Stimulation of Hyphal Ramification and Sporulation in Funneliformis mosseae by Root Extracts Is Host Phosphorous Status-Dependent.

ABSTRACT: A simulation of the environment inhabited by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi could provide clues as to how to cultivate these obligate biotrophs axenically. Host intraradical and rhizospheric environments, root extracts and exudates in particular, would be crucial for AM fungi to complete their life cycles. In this study, we analyzed and compared the effects of root exudates (RE) and root extracts (RET) of white clover (Trifolium repens) on the asymbiotic growth of the AM fungus Funneliformis mosseae in vitro, and furtherly analyzed the chemical components of different RET with the LC-MS/MS technique in order to establish an asymbiotic cultivation system for this important and hardly domesticated AM fungus. RET is superior to RE in stimulating spore germination, hyphal elongation and bra
