A roadmap of cell-type specific gene expression during late stages of the arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) interactions between plants and Glomeromycota fungi primarily support phosphate aquisition of most terrestrial plant species. To unravel cell-type specific gene expression during late stages of Medicago truncatula root colonization by AM fungi, we used genome-wide transcriptome profiling based on laser-microdissected cells. We used Medicago GeneChips to detail the cell-type specific programme of gene expression in late stages of colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and identified genes differentially expressed during these stages. Medicago truncatula Gaertn M-bM-^@M-^XJemalongM-bM-^@M-^Y genotype A17 plantlets were grown in the climate chamber. Plants grown for the collection of root cortical cells containing arbuscules (ARB), root cortical cells from mycorrhizal roots (CMR), and root epidermal cells from mycorrhizal roots (EPI) were mycorrhized after 2 weeks with Glomus intraradices and mycorrhizal roots were harvested at around 21 days post inoculation (dpi).
