11 Ectomycorrhiza-Specific Gene Expression

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Agricultural Applications

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 11))

Abstract

Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is an ecologically important interaction between woody plants and fungi, improving plant fitness and allowing the colonization of disturbed soils. In this interaction, nutrient transfer between both partners takes place, and adaptations to different soil habitats are known. During ECM development and functioning, ECM-specific tissues are formed associated with host signaling, resulting in changes in cell wall and cytoskeleton arrangement in both partners. The signaling processes involved in the mutually beneficial symbiosis can be investigated now on the basis of transcription analyses. This is summarized in the section ‘Genome-wide Expression Profiling’. In addition, ECM carbon, nitrogen and amino acid metabolism, phosphorous and water supply through ECM, as well as host and soil specificity are covered. In a separate section, examples for genetic modifications as tools for functional gene analyses are given.
