What is Rapid nitrogen transfer in the Sorghum bicolor- Glomus mosseae arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis about?
We have recently identified two genes coding for ammonium transporters (AMT) in __Sorghum bicolor__ that were induced in roots colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. To improve our understanding of the dynamics of ammonium transport in this symbiosis, we studied the transfer of soil-ammonium-derived ^15^N to __S. bicolor__ plants via the __Glomus mosseae__ fungal mycelium in compartmented microcosms. The ^15^NH^4+^-containing hyphal compartment was inaccessible to the roots in the plant compartment. ^15^N label concentrations significantly increased in plant roots and leaves already 48 h after exposure of the AM fungus to the ^15^NH^4+^ substrate, attesting an efficient symbiotic N transfer between the symbiotic partners and further highlighting that AM symbiosis represents an important component of plant nitrogen nutrition.
