An experiment was set up to investigate the role of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) in utilization of P from organic matter during mineralization in soil. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) inoculated with one of two AM fungi or left uninoculated were grown for 30 days in cross-shaped PVC pots. One of two horizontal compartments contained 100 g soil (quartz sand: clay loam, 1:1) with 0.5 g ground clover leaves labelled with32P. The labelled soil received microbial inoculum without AM fungi to ensure mineralization of the added organic matter. The labelling compartment was separated from a central root compartment by either 37 m or 700 m nylon mesh giving only hyphae or both roots and hyphae, respectively, access to the labelled soil. The recovery of32P from the hyphal compartment was 5.5 and 8.6% for plants colonized withGlomus sp. andG. caledonium, respectively, but only 0.6 % for the non-mycorrhizal controls. Interfungal differences were not related to root colonization or hyphal length densities, which were lowest forG. caledonium. Both fungi depleted the labelled soil of NaHCO3-extractable P and32P compared to controls. A 15–25% recovery of32P by roots was not enhanced in the presence of mycorrhizas, probably due to high root densities in the labelled soil. The experiment confirms that AM fungi differ in P uptake characteristics, and that mycorrhizal hyphae can intercept some P immobilization by other microorganisms and P-sorbing clay minerals.  相似文献

We investigated uptake of Cd by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) maize inoculated with Glomus mosseae from a low-P sandy calcareous soil in two glasshouse experiments. Plants grew in pots containing two compartments, one for root and hyphal growth and one for hyphal development only. Three levels of Cd (0, 25 and 100 mg kg–1) and two of P (20 and 60 mg kg–1) were applied separately to the two compartments to assess hyphal uptake of Cd. Neither Cd nor P addition inhibited root colonization by the AM fungus, but Cd depressed plant biomass. Mycorrhizal colonization, P addition and increasing added Cd level led to lower Cd partitioning to the shoots. Plant P uptake was enhanced by mycorrhizal colonization at all Cd levels studied. When Cd was added to the plant compartment and P to the hyphal compartment, plant biomass increased with AM colonization and the mycorrhizal effect was more pronounced with increasing Cd addition. When P was added to the plant compartment and Cd to the hyphal compartment, plant biomass was little affected by AM colonization, but shoot Cd uptake was increased by colonization at the low Cd addition rate (25 mg kg–1) and lowered at the higher Cd rate (100 mg kg–1) but with no difference in root Cd uptake. These effects may have been due to immobilization of Cd by the fungal mycelium or effects of the AM fungus on rhizosphere physicochemical conditions and are discussed in relation to possible phytostabilization of contaminated sites by AM plants.  相似文献

Research on nutrient acquisition by symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has mainly focused on the root–fungus interface and less attention has been given to the growth and functioning of external hyphae in the bulk soil. The growth and function of external hyphae may be affected by unfavourable soil environments, such as compacted soils in which pores may be narrow. The effects of pore size on the growth of two AM fungi (Glomus intraradices and G. mosseae) and their ability to transport 33P from the bulk soil to the host were investigated. Trifolium subterraneum L. plants were grown individually in `single arm cross-pots' with and without AM fungi. The side arm was separated from the main compartment by nylon mesh to prevent root penetration. It contained three zones: 5 mm of soil:sand mix (HC1); 25 mm of media treatment (HC2); and 20 mm of 33P-labelled soil (HC3). There were four media treatments; soil and three types of quartz sand with most common continuous pore diameters of 100, 38 and 26 m. AM plants had similar growth and total P uptake in all treatments. However, plants grown with G. intraradices contained almost three times more 33P than those grown with G. mosseae, indicating G. intraradices obtained a greater proportion of P at a distance from the host roots. Differences in P acquisition were not correlated with production of external hyphae in the four media zones and changes in sand pore size did not affect the ability of the fungi studied to acquire P at a distance from the host roots. Production of external hyphae in HC2 was influenced by fungal species and media treatment. Both fungi produced maximum amounts of external hyphae in the soil medium. Sand pore size affected growth of G. intraradices (but not G. mosseae) and hyphal diameter distributions of both fungi. The results suggest that not only are G. mosseae and G. intraradices functionally complementary in terms of spatial phosphorus acquisition, they are also capable of altering their morphology in response to the soil environment.  相似文献

Approaches suitable for the study on the functioning of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas (VAM) in the field are discussed, with emphasis on those VAM-specific processes which may influence P nutrition of crops. These processes are related to hyphal P transport in particular, and conventional techniques based on comparisons between VAM-colonized plants and uncolonized controls are therefore of limited value in such studies. Novel methods are described, which make use of a two-compartment principle and isotopes to directly measure the P transport by the VAM mycelium under controlled conditions and in the field. The principle of isotopic equilibrium may be used for indirectly quantifying the relative amounts of P supplied by hyphae and by roots of VAM plants. The hyphal contribution to P uptake may also be assessed by comparing hyphal uptake of 32P from a hyphal compartment with uptake of 33P from a corresponding compartment containing both roots and hyphae. These methods are suitable for a functional characterization of VAM fungi and for identifying constraints to the functioning of VAM.  相似文献

Plants associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) acquire phosphorus via roots and extraradical hyphae. How soil P level affects P accumulation within hyphae and how P in hyphae influences the accumulation of metal minerals remains little explored. A bi-compartmented in vitro cultivation system separating a root compartment (RC), containing a Ri T-DNA transformed carrot root associated to the AMF Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198, from a hyphal compartment (HC), containing only the extraradical hyphae, was used. The HC contained a liquid growth medium (i.e., the modified Strullu-Romand medium containing P in the form of KH2PO4) without (0 μM) or adjusted to 35, 100, and 700 μM of KH2PO4. The accumulation of P and metal minerals (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Cu, Mn) within extraradical hyphae and AMF-colonized roots, and the expression of the phosphate transporter gene GintPT were assessed. The expression of GintPT in the extraradical hyphae did not differ in absence of KH2PO4 or in presence of 35 and 100 μM KH2PO4 in the HC but was markedly reduced in presence of 700 μM KH2PO4. Hyphal P concentration was significantly lowest in absence of KH2PO4, intermediate at 35 and 100 μM KH2PO4 and significantly highest in presence of 700 μM KH2PO4 in the HC. The concentrations of K, Mg, and Na were positively associated with the concentration of P in the extraradical hyphae developing in the HC. Similarly, P concentration in extraradical hyphae in the HC was related to P concentration in the growth medium and influenced the concentration of K, Mg, and Na. The accumulation of the metal mineral K, Mg, and Na in the extraradical hyphae developing in the HC was possibly related to their function in neutralizing the negative charges of PolyP accumulated in the hyphae.  相似文献

 The influence of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus on phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) uptake of peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) plants was studied in a pot experiment under controlled environmental conditions. The plants were grown for 10 weeks in pots containing sterilised calcareous soil with two levels of Fe supply. The soil was inoculated with rhizosphere microorganisms only or with rhizosphere microorganisms together with an AM fungus (Glomus mosseae [Nicol. & Gerd.] Gerdemann & Trappe). An additional small soil compartment accessible to hyphae but not roots was added to each pot after 6 weeks of plant growth. Radiolabelled P and Fe were supplied to the hyphae compartment 2 weeks after addition of this compartment. After a further 2 weeks, plants were harvested and shoots were analysed for radiolabelled elements. In both plant species, P uptake from the labelled soil increased significantly more in shoots of mycorrhizal plants than non-mycorrhizal plants, thus confirming the well-known activity of the fungus in P uptake. Mycorrhizal inoculation had no significant influence on the concentration of labelled Fe in shoots of peanut plants. In contrast, 59Fe increased in shoots of mycorrhizal sorghum plants. The uptake of Fe from labelled soil by sorghum was particularly high under conditions producing a low Fe nutritional status of the plants. These results are preliminary evidence that hyphae of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus can mobilise and/or take up Fe from soil and translocate it to the plant. Accepted: 6 March 1998  相似文献

An investigation was carried out to test whether the mechanism of increased zinc (Zn) uptake by mycorrhizal plants is similar to that of increased phosphorus (P) acquisition. Maize (Zea mays L.) was grown in pots containing sterilised calcareous soil either inoculated with a mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae (Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerdemann and Trappe or with a mixture of mycorrhizal fungi, or remaining non-inoculated as non-mycorrhizal control. The pots had three compartments, a central one for root growth and two outer ones for hyphal growth. The compartmentalization was done using a 30-m nylon net. The root compartment received low or high levels of P (50 or 100 mg kg–1 soil) in combination with low or high levels of P and micronutrients (2 or 10 mg kg–1 Fe, Zn and Cu) in the hyphal compartments.Mycorrhizal fungus inoculation did not influence shoot dry weight, but reduced root dry weight when low P levels were supplied to the root compartment. Irrespective of the P levels in the root compartment, shoots and roots of mycorrhizal plants had on average 95 and 115% higher P concentrations, and 164 and 22% higher Zn concentrations, respectively, compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. These higher concentrations could be attributed to a substantial translocation of P and Zn from hyphal compartments to the plant via the mycorrhizal hyphae. Mycorrhizal inoculation also enhanced copper concentration in roots (135%) but not in shoots. In contrast, manganese (Mn) concentrations in shoots and roots of mycorrhizal plants were distinctly lower, especially in plants inoculated with the mixture of mycorrhizal fungi.The results demonstrate that VA mycorrhizal hyphae uptake and translocation to the host is an important component of increased acquisition of P and Zn by mycorrhizal plants. The minimal hyphae contribution (delivery by the hyphae from the outer compartments) to the total plant acquisition ranged from 13 to 20% for P and from 16 to 25% for Zn.  相似文献

 Plant phosphorus uptake via external hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi has been measured using compartmented systems where a hyphal compartment is separated from a rooting compartment by a fine mesh. By labelling the soil within the hyphal compartment with a radioactive phosphorus (P) isotope, hyphal uptake of P into the plant can be traced. The objective of this growth chamber study was to test two hyphal compartments of different design with respect to their suitabilities for measurement of hyphal P uptake. One hyphal compartment was simply a nylon mesh bag filled with 32P-labelled soil. The labelled soil in the other hyphal compartment was completely surrounded by an 8–10 mm layer of unlabelled soil that served as a buffer zone. Mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal subterranean clover plants were grown in pots with a centrally positioned hyphal compartment. Uptake of radioactive P by non-mycorrhizal control plants was 25% of that by mycorrhizal plants with the mesh bag but only 3% when including the buffer zone. Based on this good control of non-mycorrhizal P uptake from within the hyphal compartment and its greater ease of handling once produced, we judged the hyphal compartment including a buffer zone to be superior to the mesh bag.

Salinity is an increasing problem for agricultural production worldwide. The result of low-affinity Na+ uptake is toxic to the cytoplasm of most crop plants. Nevertheless, the pathways for this low-affinity Na+ uptake are still uncertain. In this work we used 22Na+ isotope tracing technology to investigate factors associated with determination of root 22Na+ influx in the salt accumulation halophyte Suaeda maritima. We found that a 2 min of exposure to the 22Na+ labeled uptake solution was optimal for determining 22Na+ influx into excised roots of S. maritima and that 7 min of blotting is suitable in 22Na+ influx experiments. 22Na+ influx did not increase linearly with the increasing external Na+ concentration, in the range tested, of 2 to 300 mM NaCl. But root 22Na+ influx and root Na+ concentration were well correlated. 22Na+ influx into excised roots of S. maritima was not, however, well correlated with the plant size. All the above results indicated further that this 22Na+ isotope influx procedure is a good method for quantify Na+ uptake rate by the roots of the salt accumulation halophyte.  相似文献

Radiocaesium enters the food chain when plants absorb it from soil, in a process that is strongly dependent on soil properties and plant and microbial species. Among the microbial species, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbionts that colonize the root cortex of many plants and develop an extraradical mycelial (ERM) network that ramifies in the soil. Despite the well-known involvement of this ERM network in mineral nutrition and uptake of some heavy metals, only limited data are available on its role in radiocaesium transport in plants. We used root-organ culture to demonstrate that the ERM of the AM fungus Glomus lamellosum can take up, possibly accumulate and unambiguously translocate radiocaesium from a 137Cs-labelled synthetic root-free compartment to a root compartment and within the roots. The accumulation of 137Cs by hyphae in the root-free compartment may be explained by sequestration in the hyphae or by a bottleneck effect resulting from a limited number of hyphae crossing the partition between the two compartments. Uptake and translocation resulted from the incorporation of 137Cs into the fungal hyphae, as no 137Cs was detected in mycorrhizal roots treated with formaldehyde. The importance of the translocation process was indicated by the correlation between 137Cs measured in the roots and the total hyphal length connecting the roots with the labelled compartment. 137Cs may be translocated via a tubular vacuolar system or by cytoplasmic streaming per se.  相似文献

Phytostabilization strategies may be suitable to reduce the dispersion of uranium (U) and the overall environmental risks of U-contaminated soils. The role of Glomus intraradices, an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, in such phytostabilization of U was investigated with a compartmented plant cultivation system facilitating the specific measurement of U uptake by roots, AM roots and extraradical hyphae of AM fungi and the measurement of U partitioning between root and shoot. A soil-filled plastic pot constituted the main root compartment (CA) which contained a plastic vial filled with U-contaminated soil amended with 0, 50 or 200 mg KH2PO4−P kg–1soil (CB). The vial was sealed by coarse or fine nylon mesh, permitting the penetration of both roots and hyphae or of just hyphae. Medicago truncatula plants grown in CA were inoculated with G. intraradices or remained uninoculated. Dry weight of shoots and roots in CA was significantly increased by G. intraradices, but was unaffected by mesh size or by P application in CB. The P amendments decreased root colonization in CB, and increased P content and dry weight of those roots. Glomus intraradices increased root U concentration and content in CA, but decreased shoot U concentrations. Root U concentrations and contents were significantly higher when only hyphae could access U inside CB than when roots could also directly access this U pool. The proportion of plant U content partitioned to shoots was decreased by root exclusion from CB and by mycorrhizas (M) in the order: no M, roots in CB > no M, no roots in CB > M, roots in CB > M, no roots in CB. Such mycorrhiza-induced retention of U in plant roots may contribute to the phytostabilization of U contaminated environments.  相似文献

This study examined the uptake of nitrogen by external hyphae of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus intraradices Schenck &; Smith) and its impact on physiological responses in maize plants subjected to well-watered or drought-stressed conditions. Plants were grown in compartmented boxes divided by a nylon mesh (40?μm) into a root compartment and a hyphal compartment. Maize plants (Zea mays cv. 'Tuxpeño sequia' selection cycle C0) were exposed to 2 weeks of drought 56 days after sowing. A ^[15]N tracer was applied as K^[15]NO_[3] to the hyphal compartment at a distance of 5?cm from the root compartment. Root and shoot samples were then analyzed for ^[15]N atom % excess (APE), glutamine synthetase (GS) activity, protein concentration and nutritional status. Evapotranspiration rate and stomatal resistance were monitored daily to determine the degree of drought stress. The APE values for AM shoots and roots were 32% and 33% higher than non-AM shoots and roots, respectively, under drought conditions. This provides clear evidence that the external mycelium of AM fungus transports considerable amounts of ^[15]NO_[3]^[– ]to the host plant under drought conditions. Drought-stressed AM roots had 28% higher GS activity, possibly as a consequence of higher hyphal acquisition of NO_[3]^[–] ions. Mycorrhizal colonization significantly increased the host plant P status regardless of soil moisture regime. In addition, the N status of drought-stressed AM shoots and roots was slightly higher than stressed non-AM shoots and roots. The improved nutritional status may assist AM plants to exploit available soil moisture more efficiently and to maintain higher leaf relative water content under moderate drought conditions.  相似文献

Two barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L., cvs. Elo and Belogorskii) differing in salt tolerance were used to study 22Na+ uptake, expression of three isoforms of the Na+/H+ antiporter HvNHX1-3, and the cellular localization of these isoforms in the elongation zone of seedling roots. During short (1 h) incubation, seedling roots of both cultivars accumulated approximately equal quantities of 22Na+. However, after 24-h incubation the content of 22Na+ in roots of a salt-tolerant variety Elo was 40% lower than in roots of the susceptible variety Belogorskii. The content of 22Na+ accumulated in shoots of cv. Elo after 24-h incubation was 6.5 times lower than in shoots of cv. Belogorskii and it was 4 times lower after the salt stress treatment. The cytochemical examination revealed that three proteins HvNHX1-3 are co-localized in the same cells of almost all root tissues; these proteins were present in the tonoplast and prevacuolar vesicles. Western blot analysis of HvNHX1-3 has shown that the content of isoforms in vacuolar membranes increased in response to salt stress in seedling roots and shoots of both cultivars, although the increase was more pronounced in the tolerant cultivar. The content of HvNHX1 in the seedlings increased in parallel with the enhanced expression of HvNHX1, whereas the increase in HvNHX2 and HvNHX3 protein content was accompanied by only slight changes in expression of respective genes. The results provide evidence that salt tolerance of barley depends on plant ability to restrict Na+ transport from the root to the shoot and relies on regulatory pathways of HvNHX1-3 expression in roots and shoots during salt stress.  相似文献

Although many studies support the importance of the external mycelium for nutrient acquisition of ectomycorrhizal plants, direct evidence for a significant contribution to host nitrogen nutrition is still scarce. We grew nonmycorrhizal seedlings and seedlings mycorrhizal with Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr. in a sand culture system with two compartments separated by a 45-m Nylon mesh. Hyphae, but not roots, can penetrate this net. Nutrient solutions were designed to limit seedling growth by nitrogen. Hyphal density in the hyphal compartment, host N status and shoot growth of mycorrhizal seedlings significantly increased in response to NH4 + addition to the hyphal compartment. Labeling the compartment only accessible to hyphae with 15NH4 + showed that the increase in N uptake in the mycorrhizal seedlings was a result of hyphal N acquisition from the hyphal compartment. These results indicate that hyphae of P. involutus may actively forage into N-rich patches and improve host N status and growth. In the mycorrhizal seedlings, which received additional NH4 + via their external mycelium, the increase in NH4 + supply less negatively affected Ca and Mg uptake than in nonmycorrhizal seedlings, where the additional NH4 + was directly supplied to the roots. This was most likely due to the close link of NH4 + uptake and H+ extrusion, which, in the nonmycorrhizal seedlings, lead to a strong acidification in the root compartment, and subsequently reduced Ca and Mg uptake, whereas in the mycorrhizal seedlings the site of intensive NH4 + uptake and acidification was in the hyphal and not in the root compartment. Our data support the idea that the ectomycorrhizal mycelium connected to an N-deficient host may actively forage for N. The mycelium may also be important as a biological buffer system ameliorating negative influence of high NH4 + supply on cation uptake.  相似文献

The synergistic benefits of the dual inoculation of legumes with nodule bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) are well established, but the effect of an external NH4+ supply on this tripartite relationship is less clear. This effect of NH4+ supply was investigated with regards to the growth and function of the legume host and both symbionts. Nodulated Phaseolus vulgaris seedlings with and without AM, were grown in a sand medium with either 0 N, 1 mM or 3 mM NH4+. Plants were harvested at 30 days after emergence and measurements were taken for biomass, N2 fixation, photosynthesis, asparagine concentration, construction costs and N nutrition. The addition of NH4+ led to a decline in the percentage AM colonization and nodule dry weights, although AM colonization was affected to a lesser extent. NH4+ supply also resulted in a decrease in the reliance on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF); however, the AM roots maintained higher levels of NH4+ uptake than their non-AM counterparts. Furthermore, the non-AM plants had a higher production of asparagine than the AM plants. The inhibitory effects of NH4+ on nodule function can be reduced by the presence of AM at moderate levels of NH4+ (1 mM), via improving nodule growth or relieving the asparagine-induced inhibition of BNF.  相似文献

White clover (Trifolium repens L.) plants were grown in a calcareous soil in pots with three compartments, a central one for root growth and two outer ones for growth of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal (Glomus mosseae [Nicol. & Gerd.] Gerdemann & Trappe) hyphae (hyphal compartments). Phosphorus (P) was applied at three levels (0, 20 and 50 mg kg−1 soil) in the outer compartments in mycorrhizal treatments. Root and shoot dry weight were increased in mycorrhizal plants with hyphal access to outer compartments. Growth of the mycorrhizal hyphae in the outer compartments was not significantly affected by variation in P level in these compartments. However, both concentration and amount of P in roots and shoots sharply increased with increasing P supply in the outer (hyphal) compartments. With increasing P levels the calculated delivery of P by the hyphae from the outer compartments increased from 34% to 90% of total P uptake. Hyphal access to the outer compartments also significantly increased both concentration and quantity of Cu in the plants. The calculated delivery of Cu by the hyphae from the outer compartments ranged from 53% to 62% of total Cu uptake, irrespective of the P levels and the amounts of P taken up and transported by the hyphae. However, the distribution of Cu over roots and shoots was largely dependent on P levels. With increase in P level in the outer compartments the calculated hyphal contribution to the total amount of Cu in the shoots increased from 12% to 58%, but decreased in the roots from 75% to 46%. In conclusion, uptake and transport by VA-mycorrhizal hyphae may contribute substantially not only to P nutrition, but also to Cu nutrition of the host.  相似文献

Cucumis sativus L. cv. Aminex (F1 hybrid) was grown alone or in symbiosis with Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith in containers with two hyphal compartments (HCA and HCB) on either side of a root compartment (RC) separated by fine nylon mesh. Plants received a total of either 100, 200 or 400 mg N which were applied gradually to the RC during the experiment. 15N was supplied to HCA 42 d after plating, at 50 mg 15NH4 +-N kg–1 soil. Lateral movement of the applied 15N towards the roots was minimized by using a nitrification inhibitor and a hyphal buffer compartment.Non-mycorrhizal controls contained only traces of 15N after a 27 d labelling period irrespective of the amount of N supplied to the RC. In contrast, 49, 48 and 27% of the applied 15N was recovered in mycorrhizal plants supplied with 100, 200 and 400 mg N, respectively. The plant dry weight was increased by mycorrhizal colonization at all three levels of N supply, but this effect was strongest in plants of low N status. The results indicated that this increase was due partly to the improved inflow of N via the external hyphae. Root colonization by G. intraradices was unaffected by the amount of N supplied to the RC, while hyphal length increased in HCA compared to HCB. Although a considerable 15N content was detected in mycorrhizal roots adjacent to HCB, only insignificant amounts of 15N were found in the external hyphae in HCB. The external hyphae depleted the soil of inorganic N in both HCA and HCB, while the concentration of soil mineral N was still high in non-mycorrhizal containers at harvest. An exception was plants supplied with 400 mg N, where some inorganic N was present at 5 cm distance from the RC in HCA. The possibility of a regulation mechanism for hyphal transport of N is discussed.  相似文献

Intramolecular correlations among the 18O-labels of metabolic oligophosphates, mapped by J-decoupled 31P NMR 2D chemical shift correlation spectroscopy, impart stringent constraints to the 18O-isotope distributions over the whole oligophosphate moiety. The multiple deduced correlations of isotopic labels enable determination of site-specific fractional isotope enrichments and unravel the isotopologue statistics. This approach ensures accurate determination of 18O-labeling rates of phosphometabolites, critical in biochemical energy conversion and metabolic flux transmission. The biological usefulness of the J-decoupled 31P NMR 2D chemical shift correlation maps was validated on adenosine tri-phosphate fractionally 18O labeled in perfused mammalian hearts.  相似文献

High-affinity K+ uptake in plants plays a crucial role in K+ nutrition and different systems have been postulated to contribute to the high-affinity K+ uptake. The results presented here with pepper (Capsicum annum) demonstrate that a HAK1-type transporter greatly contributes to the high-affinity K+ uptake observed in roots. Pepper plants starved of K+ for 3 d showed high-affinity K+ uptake (K m of 6 M K+) that was very sensitive to NH and their roots expressed a high-affinity K+ transporter, CaHAK1, which clusters in group I of the KT/HAK/KUP family of transporters. When expressed in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), CaHAK1 mediated high-affinity K+ and Rb+ uptake with K m values of 3.3 and 1.9 M, respectively. Rb+ uptake was competitively inhibited by micromolar concentrations of NH and Cs+, and by millimolar concentrations of Na+.  相似文献

The direct impact of fenpropimorph on the sterol biosynthesis pathway of Glomus intraradices when extraradical mycelia alone are in contact with the fungicide was investigated using monoxenic cultures. Bi-compartmental Petri plates allowed culture of mycorrhizal chicory roots in a compartment without fenpropimorph and exposure of extraradical hyphae to the presence of increasing concentrations of fenpropimorph (0, 0.02, 0.2, 2, 20 mg l−1). In the fungal compartment, sporulation, hyphal growth, and fungal biomass were already reduced at the lowest fungicide concentration. A decrease in total sterols, in addition to an increase in the amount of squalene and no accumulation of abnormal sterols, suggests that the sterol pathway is severely slowed down or that squalene epoxidase was inhibited by fenpropimorph in G. intraradices. In the root compartment, neither extraradical and intraradical development of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus nor root growth was affected when they were not in direct contact with the fungicide; only hyphal length was significantly affected at 2 mg l−1 of fenpropimorph. Our results clearly demonstrate a direct impact of fenpropimorph on the AM fungus by a perturbation of its sterol metabolism.  相似文献
