A sensor for inhibition of symbiosis when phosphate is plentiful
Research, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellLiao et al. describe a sensor complex that coordinates phosphate signaling and arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis.
Background: Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis is a widespread phenomenon in terrestrial plants that improves the acquisition of mineral nutrients. Successful symbiosis with AMs enhances…
