Abstract excerpt
cDNA for a major arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM)-inducible phosphate (Pi) transporter of Lotus japonicus, LjPT3, was isolated from Glomus mosseae-colonized roots. The LjPT3 transcript was expressed in arbuscule-containing cells of the inner cortex. The transport activity of the gene product was confirmed by the complementation of a yeast mutant that lacks high-affinity Pi transporters. In contrast to most AM-inducible...
