“…The fact that the photosynthetic activity per area did not differ between AM- and P i -fertilized plants indicates that the changes in chloroplast number in the AM plants did not impact the photosynthetic capacity. The observation of increased leaf area upon mycorrhization in our study is also in line with several previous reports for M. truncatula [ 21 , 22 ] and Prunus armeniaca [ 53 ]. Nevertheless, the leaf area was unaffected by AM colonization in the case of Lolium perenne [ 54 ].…”

Mycorrhiza Symbiosis Increases the Surface for Sunlight Capture in Medicago truncatula for Better Photosynthetic Production

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a prominent role in plant nutrition by supplying mineral nutrients, particularly inorganic phosphate (Pi), and also constitute an important carbon sink. AM stimulates plant growth and development, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, Medicago truncatula plants were grown with Rhizophagus irregularis BEG141 inoculum (AM), mock inoculum (control) or with Pi fertilization. We hypothesized that AM stimulates plant growth through either modifications of leaf anatomy or photosynthetic activity per leaf area. We investigated whether these effects are shared with Pi fertilization, and also assessed the relationship between levels of AM colonization and these effects. We found that increased Pi supply by either mycorrhization or fertilization led to improved shoot growth associated with increased nitrogen uptake and carbon assimilation. Both mycorrhized and Pi-fertilized plants had more and longer branches with larger and thicker leaves than the control plants, resulting in an increased photosynthetically active area. AM-specific effects were earlier appearance of the first growth axes and increased number of chloroplasts per cell section, since they were not induced by Pi fertilization. Photosynthetic activity per leaf area remained the same regardless of type of treatment. In conclusion, the increase in growth of mycorrhized and Pi-fertilized Medicago truncatula plants is linked to an increase in the surface for sunlight capture, hence increasing their photosynthetic production, rather than to an increase in the photosynthetic activity per leaf area.

“…Nevertheless, the leaf area was unaffected by AM colonization in the case of Lolium perenne [ 54 ]. Another strategy to increase the sun exposure is by growing taller, as found in mycorrhized trees such as Olea europea (olive) [ 55 ], Sophora davidii (shrub pagoda tree) [ 56 ] and Prunus armeniaca (apricot) [ 53 ].…”

“…Dutt et al (2013) mentioned that it was more effective the inoculation in Prunus armeniaca L. with G. fasciculatum. Singh et al (2013) reported 71% colonization by combining G. fasciculatum and G. monteilii in Coleus forskohlii and with G. fasciculatum this was 65%.…”

“…Dentro de los HMA se encuentra Glomus con 85 especies, pero la más importante en la agricultura es G. fasciculatum, estudiada en frutales, forestales, hortalizas y leguminosas. Existen reportes del efecto positivo de ésta con composta, estiércol o residuo de cosecha (Saif, 1986) al aumentar el potencial del inóculo en el suelo, la colonización y la absorción de nutrientes (Gosling et al, 2006;Wu y Zou, 2010;Singh et al, 2013;Dutt et al, 2013).…”
