Functional diversity in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses: the contribution of the mycorrhizal P uptake pathway is not correlated with mycorrhizal responses in growth or total P uptake

Smith, Sally E., Smith, F. Andrew, Jakobsen, Iver·2004·New Phytologist

Abstract

• We investigated structural and functional diversity in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses involving three plant species and three AM fungi and measured contributions of the fungi to P uptake using compartmented pots and 33P. The plant/fungus combinations varied in growth and P responses. Flax (Linum usitatissimum) responded positively to all fungi, and medic (Medicago truncatula) to Glomus caledonium and G. intraradices, but not Gigaspora rosea. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) showed no positive responses. • Hyphal growth in soil was very low for Gi. rosea and high for both Glomus spp. Hyphal lengths in root + hyphal compartment (RHC) and hyphal compartment (HC) were similar for G. intraradices, but much higher in HC for G. caledonium. • Specific activities of 33P in plants and soil indicated that fungal P uptake made substantial contributions to five plant/fungus combinations and significant contributions to a further two. G. intraradices delivered close to 100% of the P in all three plants. G. caledonium and Gi. rosea delivered less P. The amount was not related to colonisation or to growth or P responses. • We conclude that: AM colonisation can result in complete inactivation of the direct P uptake pathway via root hairs and epidermis; calculations of AM contributions to P uptake from total plant P will often be highly inaccurate; and lack of plant responsiveness does not mean that an AM fungus makes no contribution to P uptake.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
