The exchange of phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is a major determinant of their mutualistic symbiosis. We explored the C dynamics in tomato (Solanum lycorpersicum) inoculated or not with Rhizophagus irregularis to study their growth response under different NaH PO concentrations (Null P, 0 mM; Low P, 0.065 mM; High P, 1.

- - Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a symbiotic relationship with plants, supplying them with mineral nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates (like sucrose) produced during photosynthesis.
- - AMF affect how plants produce, transport, and break down sucrose, which is crucial for various metabolic processes and can significantly influence plant growth and responses to stress.
- - The review discusses how AMF also impact lipid metabolism in plants, explaining a model of how carbon (primarily in the form of sucrose) is shared between the fungus and the plant to regulate their mutual benefits.
Bacterial communities have been identified as functional key members in soil ecology. A deep relation with these communities maintains forest coverture. Trees harbor particular bacteriomes in the rhizosphere, endosphere, or phyllosphere, different from bulk-soil representatives.
