Functional diversity in arbuscular mycorrhiza - the role of gene expression, phosphorous nutrition and symbiotic efficiency
Feddermann, Nadja; Finlay, Roger; Boller, Thomas; Elfstrand, Malin
Abstract
We suggest that differential expression of symbiosis-associated genes among different AM associations is a phenotypic response to the different fungal and plant genotypes involved and the environment they inhabit; functional diversity is therefore the rule rather than the exception and necessitates carefully replicated experiments that combine close observation of morphology, physiological traits and gene expression.
