The putative transporter MtUMAMIT14 participates in nodule formation in Medicago truncatula

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 13(1).

By: K. Garcia n , K. Cloghessy*, D. Cooney n, B. Shelley *, S. Chakraborty *, A. Kafle n, A. Busidan*, U. Sonawala * ...

MeSH headings : Root Nodules, Plant / genetics; Root Nodules, Plant / metabolism; Medicago truncatula / genetics; Medicago truncatula / metabolism; Plant Proteins / genetics; Plant Proteins / metabolism; Nitrogen Fixation / physiology; Membrane Transport Proteins / genetics; Membrane Transport Proteins / metabolism; Nitrogen / metabolism; Symbiosis; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant
TL;DR: Comparison of mutant and wild-type M. truncatula indicates MtUMAMIT14, the expression of which is dependent on the presence of NIN, DNF1, and DNF2 , plays a role in nodule formation and nitrogen-fixation, and results connect root nodule nitrogen fixation in legumes with the UMAMIT family.

By: A. Kafle n & K. Garcia n 

author keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis; cesium; Medicago truncatula; potassium; Rhizophagus irregularis
MeSH headings : Medicago truncatula; Mycorrhizae; Potassium; Rubidium; Cesium; Soil; Symbiosis; Plant Roots / microbiology
TL;DR: It is concluded that Cs+ could be used as a proxy for K+ in AM symbiosis, but with serious limitations. (via Semantic Scholar)

Global evaluation of commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculants under greenhouse and field conditions

APPLIED SOIL ECOLOGY, 169.

By: M. Salomon *, R. Demarmels*, S. Watts-Williams *, M. McLaughlin *, A. Kafle n, C. Ketelsen*, A. Soupir*, H. Buecking, T. Cavagnaro *, M. Heijden *

author keywords: Agricultural inoculants; Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; Biofertilizer; Microbial fertilizer; Mycorrhizae; Sustainable agriculture
TL;DR: The results of a global study in which the effectiveness of 28 commercial AMF inoculants to colonize host plants under greenhouse and field conditions are evaluated raise concerns over unreliable products which do not contain viable propagules and do not result in mycorrhizal root colonization.

Mycorrhiza-mediated potassium transport in Medicago truncatula can be evaluated by using rubidium as a proxy

PLANT SCIENCE, 322.

By: A. Kafle n, D. Cooney n, G. Shah n & K. Garcia n 

author keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis; Medicago truncatula; Plant nutrition; Potassium; Rhizophagus irregularis; Rubidium
MeSH headings : Medicago truncatula / metabolism; Mycorrhizae / physiology; Plant Roots / metabolism; Potassium / metabolism; Rubidium / metabolism; Symbiosis / physiology
TL;DR: The results indicate that Rb+ can be used as a proxy to assess the movement of K+ in AM symbiosis, and suggest the existence of a mycorrhizal uptake pathway for K+ nutrition in M. truncatula. (via Semantic Scholar)
