Abstract
In ectomycorrhizal plants, the fungal cells colonize the roots of their host plant to create new organs called ectomycorrhizae. In these new organs, the fungal cells colonize the walls of the cortical cells, bathing in the same apoplasm as the plant cells in a space named the ‘Hartig net’, where exchanges between the two partners take place. Finally, the efficiency of ectomycorrhizal fungi to improve the phosphorus nutrition of their host plants will depend on the regulation of phosphate transfer from the fungal cells to plant cells in the Hartig net through as yet unknown mechanisms. In order to investigate these mechanisms, we developed an in vitro experimental device mimicking the common apoplasm of the ectomycorrhizae (the Hartig net) to study the phosphorus metabolism in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum when the fungal cells are associated or not with the plant cells of the host plant Pinus pinaster. This device can be used to monitor 32Phosphate efflux from the fungus previously incubated with 32P-orthophosphate.
Keywords: In vitro symbiotic interface (体外共生界面)Background
The association between mycorrhizal fungi and plants is known to improve plant P nutrition (reviewed by Smith and Read, 2008; Plassard and Dell, 2010; Cairney, 2011; Smith et al., 2015). This positive effect is due to P uptake and P transport through the fungal cells exploring soil far away from the roots. The capacity of the fungus to take up P from the soil solution and to release P to mycorrhizal roots is therefore an important feature for its positive effect on plant P nutrition. In ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, we know (i) that the exchanges between the fungus and the plant occur in the Hartig net, located inside the ectomycorrhizae, and (ii) that there is no direct cellular connection via, for example plasmodesmata, between the plasma membrane of the fungal and the plant cells. Therefore, these exchanges are very difficult to study as they occur in the apoplasmic space of the Hartic net. Here, we describe an in vitro system enabling us to mimick this apoplasmic space for the ectomycorrhizal fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum incubated with its host plant Pinus pinaster (Torres-Aquino et al., 2017). This method could be used with other fungal or plant species.
