The influence of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita on cytoskeleton organisation in epidermal cells of Lotus japonicus roots was compared between plants of the wild type Gifu and the mutant Ljsym4-2, in which the fungus is confined to the epidermal cells. Immunofluorescence labelling of plant microtubules and microfilaments showed only limited alterations in the peripheral cytoskeleton of epidermal cells during early stages of fungal interaction with the wild type. Later, microtubules and microfilaments enveloped the growing hypha, while the host cell nucleus moved close to the fungus. In contrast, epidermal cells of the mutant responded with disorganisation and disassembly of microtubules and microfilaments before and during fungal penetration attempts. The fungus penetrated only as far as to epidermal cells, whose cytoplasm became devoid of tubulin and actin, suggesting cell death. The close relationship between host cytoskeleton organisation and compatibility with the fungus suggests that a functional Ljsym4 gene is necessary for correct reorganisation of the epidermal cell cytoskeleton in the presence of the fungus and for avoiding hypersensitivity-like reactions. |
