Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We show that sensing the R/FR ratio positively influences arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis development through jasmonic acid (JA) and strigolactone (SL) signaling. By transferring white light-grown Lotus japonicus inoculated with Rhizophagus irregularis to conditions of differing R/FR ratio, we found that in high R/FR, the infection rate of AM fungi significantly increased compared to plants grown in low R/FR. A similar response occurred in the non-legume Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-Tom. Moreover, adding JA not only enhanced transcription of the marker genes in both legume and non-legume roots, but also increased fungal hyphal length. We found that root exudates from high R/FR treated plants contained more (+)-5-deoxystrigol than low R/FR-derived exudates.
