The lab of Michael Schultze is taking a molecular genetic and functional genomics approaches to identify and characterise genes involved in the development and functioning of arbuscular mycorrhizas. Mycorrhizas ("fungal roots") are based on the symbiosis between plants and soil-borne fungi. They help the plant to acquire mineral nutrients and improve stress tolerance. Forward genetic screens in the model legume Medicago truncatula are used to identify new mutants affected in mycorrhiza formation. A number of mutants have been isolated so far. Molecular cloning of the affected genes in some of these mutants is under way. Identification and characterisation of these genes will elucidate the mechanisms underlying the molecular communication between plant and fungus.
