Summary: This study reveals that chitin-derived molecules, rather than symbiosis-specific signals, can trigger lateral root formation. The LysM receptors integrate MAMP perception with developmental responses, and their role in coordinating the interaction between roots and the rhizosphere biota is conserved across different plant species.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of two plant hormones on the growth and sporulation of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, Rhizophagus clarus. The results demonstrate that these hormones can induce the production of a large number of spores and promote the growth of host plants.

Summary: Plants and fungi secrete LysM proteins to promote symbiotic colonization and suppress immune response. Knockout of these genes leads to reduced colonization and impaired immune response.

Summary: This study demonstrates the use of an anthocyanin-based visual marker system to visualize the colonization of AMF in Medicago truncatula roots. It provides an efficient approach for mutant screening and monitoring of AMF colonization, and offers a simple and quick photometric assay for quantitative assessment.

Summary: Symbiotic partnerships between land plant species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are crucial for nutrient acquisition and environmental adaptation. Host plants use specific receptors and signals to monitor and control symbiosis, ensuring a mutually beneficial association. Recent discoveries in receptor-mediated signaling have expanded our understanding of how host plants regulate arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.

Summary: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a beneficial role in plant growth under heavy metal stress, and their symbiotic associations can be improved by elevated CO2 (eCO2). This study compared the regulatory mechanisms of AMF symbiosis under arsenite (As-III) toxicity in wheat and soybean. The results showed that eCO2 significantly increased AMF colonization by inducing auxin levels and improving sugar metabolism. As-III decreased plant growth and increased photorespiration and oxidative injury, with soybean being more sensitive to oxidative stress. Exposure to eCO2 reduced oxidative damage, especially in soybean, through the reduction in photorespiration and stronger antioxidant and detoxification defense systems. The study provides mechanistic insights into the impact of AMF, eCO2, and their interaction on As-stressed grass and legume plants, which can contribute to better strategies for mitigating As-III phytotoxicity.

Summary: Strigolactones (SLs) are a prime example of allelochemicals that affect the germination of parasitic plants and the growth of symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Research on SLs is complex but shows great potential for agricultural applications.

Summary: The recognition of invasion patterns (IPs) is crucial for the establishment of defense reactions in plants against pathogens. While the perception of chitooligosaccharides (COS) in grapevine is poorly understood, it has been well described in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. By overexpressing the two putative AtLYK5 orthologs from grapevine in Arabidopsis, VvLYK5-1 was found to mediate the perception of chitin but not chitosan oligomers.

Summary: OsCERK1 plays a key role in chitin-triggered immunity and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in rice. Its putative paralog, OsRLK10, has a redundant function. While OsCERK2 also contributes to AM symbiosis, its contribution is weaker.
