Arbuskul?re Mykorrhiza: Zuckerbrot und Peitsche

摘要

The arbuscular mycorrhiza is widely regarded as a textbook example of a mutualistic symbiosis. However, new results regarding the existence of mycorrhizal fungal effectors as well as the transcriptional regulation of a fungal symbiotic monosaccharide transporter emphasize that even in beneficial associations the interactors are not solely altruistic but rather serve their own interests.
