This is the first report to indicate conservation between the AM symbiosis and the root-knot nematode symbiosis. Mutation of the L. japonicus receptor-like kinase SYMRK leads to defects in signaling during early stages of the AM symbiosis, nodulation and the RKN symbiosis.

Comparative transcriptomics of rice reveals an ancient pattern of response to microbial colonization. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 (2005) 8066-8070. This is the first report comparing the transcriptional responses of a plant to beneficial and harmful fungal infections. The results of this work suggest considerable similarities in the plant's answer to fungal invasion, which are more extensive if the infection strategies are related.

This work shows that M. grisea is not only a devastating foliar pathogen but also efficiently infects rice and barley roots. These infections are associated with alterations of the fungal morphology that resemble the typical infection structures of root-infecting pathogens.

Mol Plant Microbe Interact 17 (2004) 729-738. These authors established a protocol that allowed the single-cell analysis of transcript levels of a selected set of pathogenesis-related genes. Resistant cells have a profile of gene expression that is different from that in infected cells.
