Lipid transfer from plants to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi

Lipid transfer from plants to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbioses contribute to global carbon cycles as plant hosts divert up to 20% of photosynthate to the obligate biotrophic fungi. Previous studies suggested carbohydrates as the only form of carbon transferred to the fungi. However, de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis has not...
