SUMMARY:Characterising the epistatic relationship between signalling pathw
 ays for AM symbiosis in rice - Raffy Hull\, PhD student\, Paszkowski group

DESCRIPTION:Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is conserved across the land 
 plants and is the default nutrient uptake strategy for plants in nature. P
 lant recognition and accommodation of AM fungi requires signalling through
  both the α/ß hydrolase DWARF14-LIKE pathway and the common symbiosis si
 gnalling pathway. Loss of D14L completely blocks AM symbiosis and renders 
 roots defective in the normal transcriptional reprogramming required to ho
 st AM fungi. In contrast\, symbiosis is significantly reduced in CSSP muta
 nts\, but fungal contacts can nevertheless still be established. In this t
 alk\, epistatic analysis in rice is presented to support the placement of 
 D14L upstream of the CSSP component CCaMK. Phenotypic and gene expression 
 analysis are also presented to suggest NSP1 and NSP2 are essential for AM 
 symbiosis in rice.\n\nDue to having to go online\, we are restricting the 
 talks to University of Cambridge and alumni to keep them as informal as po
 ssible.\n\nContact reception@plantsci.cam.ac.uk for a Zoom link prior to a
  talk if you are not on our mailing list.
