Abstract: Root systems of most land plants form arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses in the field, and these contribute to nutrient uptake. AM roots have two pathways for nutrient absorption, directly through the root epidermis and root hairs and via AM fungal hyphae into root cortical cells, where arbuscules or hyphal coils provide symbiotic interfaces. New physiological and molecular evidence shows that for phosphorus the mycorrhizal pathway (MP) is operational regardless of plant growth responses (positive or negati… Show more

“…They play a vital role in plant growth by providing mineral nutrients such as phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), and also trace elements to their host plants (Smith and Read, 2008). Moreover, AMF can also protect their host plants from pathogen infections (Newsham et al, 1995), drought stress (Li et al, 2013) and heavy metal contaminations (Leyval et al, 1997).…”

“…Thanks to the hyphal network they develop in the soil (up to 100 fold more extensive than root hairs), AM fungi acquire nutrients not only for their own needs, but also for delivering them to the root cortical cells via a fast but not fully understood mechanism Fellbaum et al 2012). In return, up to 20 % of the photosynthesis products of the host can be allocated to the fungus, which is unable to complete its life cycle without the host (Smith and Read 2008). Mycorrhizal plants preferentially take up Pi via fungal hyphae (Smith et al , 2004: unlike the so-called "direct pathway", this indirect pathway first requires Pi uptake from the soil through high-affinity fungal Pi transporters (PT) in the extraradical mycelium (ERM).…”

“…The structures responsible for this exchange are called arbuscules, which are vesicles, globous structures, that accumulate glycogen and lipids. These structures are reserves of AMF formed during periods of low temperature, when low fungal and host activities occur (Smith & Smith 2011).…”
