To elucidate molecular mechanisms controlling differential growth responses to root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi varying in colonization and cooperative behavior, a pot experiment was carried out using two soybean genotypes and three AM inocula. The results showed that inoculation by cooperativeRhizophagus irregularis(Ri) or less cooperativeGlomus aggregatumwith high AM colonization (Ga‐H) significantly promoted plant growth compared with inoculation byG. aggregatumwith low AM colonization (Ga‐L). A comparative RNA sequencing analysis of the root transcriptomes showed that fatty acid synthesis pathway was significantly enriched in all three AM inoculation roots. However, sugar metabolism and transport were significantly enriched only in Ri and Ga‐H inoculation, which was consistent with positive growth responses in these two inoculation treatments. Accordingly, the expression levels of the key genes related to sugar metabolism and transport were also upregulated in Ri and Ga‐H roots compared with Ga‐L roots. Of them, two sugars will eventually be exported transporters (SWEET) transporter genes,GmSWEET6(Glyma.04G198600) andGmSWEET15(Glyma.06G166800), and one invertase (Glyma.17G227900) gene were exclusively induced only in Ri and Ga‐H roots. Promoter analyses in transgenic soybean roots further demonstrated thatGUSdriven by theGmSWEET6promoter was highly expressed in arbuscule‐containing cortical cells. Additionally, Ri and Ga‐H inoculation increased the contents of sucrose, glucose and fructose in both shoots and roots compared with those of Ga‐L and non‐mycorrhizal. These results imply that positive mycorrhizal growth responses in plants might mostly be due to the stimulation of photosynthate metabolism and transport by AM fungal inoculum with high colonization capabilities.
