Research Abstract |
The present study demonstrated that i) polyphosphate is the main storage of phosphorus in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, ii) polyphosphate consists of 60-70% of total cellular phosphorus at maximum, and iii) Na^+, K^+, Ca^<2+>, and Mg^<2+> are also accumulated during polyphosphate accumulation to neutralize negative charge of polyphosphate. An efficient method to extract RNA from hyphae has been established for large scale sequencing of mRNA expressed during polyphosphate accumulation in hyphae.
