A diffusible signal from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi elicits a transient cytosolic calcium elevation in host plant cells. Plant Physiol 144 (2007) 673-681. Cultured cells from soybean, but not from nonmycorrhizal Arabidopsis, were shown to be competent to perceive constitutively released, partially lipophilic, molecules from spores from three different AM fungal species. These molecules were able to trigger intracellular calcium changes in the plant cells. These experiments have to be transferred to in planta systems.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105 (2008) 9823-9828. This work shows that rhizobial and AM fungal signals generate differential cellular calcium responses. The two responses are chaotic in nature which allows transduction of two different signals by using common components of a single signaling pathway, namely DMI1 and DMI2.

Arbuscular mycorrhiza-specific signaling in rice transcends the common symbiosis signaling pathway. Plant Cell 20 (2008) 2989-3005. Molecular dissection of AM-specific signaling performed in rice indicated functional conservation of SYM signaling in monocots and dicots. Differential gene expression patterns in SYM gene knock-out mutants provided evidence for AM-specific but SYM-independent signaling in rice.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104 (2007) 1720-1725. Along with Ref. [36•], this study reports on the importance of mycorrhiza-specific Pi transport for symbiosome development. Insufficient Pi transport results in premature degradation of nodules or arbuscules.

These roots were shown to be insensitive to a mycorrhizal signal which triggers Pi transporter gene expression at low Pi.

Repression of the MEP pathway toward synthesis of mycorradicin correlated with downregulation of mycorrhiza-specific Pi transporter gene expression and early degradation of arbuscules. This highlights the role of secondary isoprenoids for mycorrhiza functioning.

48. Stirnberg P., Furner I., and Leyser H. MAX2 participates in an SCF complex which acts locally at the node to suppress shoot branching. Plant J 50 (2007) 80-94. MAX2 activity in the shoot is required for the suppression of shoot branching by an as-yet unknown mobile signal. MAX2 localizes to the nucleus and may target nuclear proteins for degradation through interaction with SCF-type ubiquitin E3 ligase.

A LysM receptor-like kinase plays a critical role in chitin signaling and fungal resistance in Arabidopsis. Plant Cell 20 (2008) 471-481. The perception of fungal pathogens and rhizobacterial symbionts is suggested to be evolutionarily conserved and is mediated by LysM receptor-like proteins binding to chitin fragments or Nod factors. Whether AM fungal signals are perceived through a similar mechanism remains to be shown.
