Nitrogen (N) is known to be transferred from fungus to plant in the arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) symbiosis, yet its metabolism, storage and transport are poorly understood.• In vitro …

Nitrogen (N) capture by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from organic material is a recently
discovered phenomenon. This study investigated the ability of two Glomus species to …

Key enzymes of the urea cycle and 15N-labeling patterns of arginine (Arg) were measured
to elucidate the involvement of Arg in nitrogen translocation by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) …

New information on N uptake and transport of inorganic and organic N in arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi is reviewed here. Hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus …

The objective of this study was to examine the ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to
take up nitrogen from soil and transport it to the host plant. Maize (Zea mays L.) associated …

Carbon transfer from fungus to plant in the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been
reported, but its significance and even its existence have been called into question and the …

The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) brings together the roots of over 80% of land plant species
and fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota and greatly benefits plants through improved …

Colonization of the land by plants some 400 million years ago was associated with the
colonization of their primitive roots by soil-borne filamentous fungi (Nicolson, 1975; Simon et …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi take up nitrogen from the soil, translocate it and transfer it
to the host plant (Jennings, 1995; Smith & Read, 1997), often in significant quantities …

It is well established that ectomycorrhizal fungi can use amino acids as nitrogen and carbon
sources, but data on the kinetic properties of amino acid uptake systems of ectomycorrhizal …
