- Key message
- We demonstrate that the rice orthologs of CASTOR and POLLUX, namely Os-CASTOR and Os-POLLUX, are indispensable for mycorrhizal symbiosis in rice and that Os-POLLUX can restore nodulation, but not rhizobial infection, to a M. truncatula dmi1 mutant.
- Taken together, cytological and molecular evidence strongly indicates that Os-CASTOR and Os-POLLUX are required for the establishment of AM symbiosis in rice.
- Connection
- Os-CASTOR, Os-POLLUX, Antiquity and function of CASTOR and POLLUX, the twin ion channel-encoding genes key to the evolution of root symbioses in plants, Using rice (Oryza sativa) as a study system, we employ reverse genetic tools (knockout mutants and RNA interference) to demonstrate that Os-CASTOR and Os-POLLUX are indispensable for mycorrhizal symbiosis in rice
