Nitrogen transfer in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

TL;DR: Results of stable isotope labelling experiments are reported showing that inorganic nitrogen taken up by the fungus outside the roots is incorporated into amino acids, translocated from the extraradical to the intraradical mycelium as arginine, but transferred to the plant without carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon availability triggers fungal nitrogen uptake and transport in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

TL;DR: It is found that the C supply of the host plant triggers the uptake and transport of N in the symbiosis, and that the increase in N transport is orchestrated by changes in fungal gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal nutrient allocation in common mycorrhizal networks is regulated by the carbon source strength of individual host plants.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates how fungal partners are able to retain bargaining power, despite being obligately dependent on their hosts, and biological market theory has emerged as a tool with which the strategic investment of competing partners in trading networks can be studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in the Nitrogen Uptake of Plants: Current Knowledge and Research Gaps

TL;DR: In this review, current knowledge about nitrogen transport through the fungal hyphae and across the mycorrhizal interface is summarized, and the regulation of these pathways and major research gaps are discussed.
