In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, there is a reciprocal nutrient exchange between symbiotic partners. AM fungi assist the plants with uptake of mineral nutrients from the soil, especially phosphate (Pi). The host plants, in return, provide the fungi with sugar. In contrast to the studies on the symbiotic transport of Pi in arbuscular mycorrhiza, there have been few investigations devoted specifically to sugar transport in AM symbiosis. Using reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), we analyzed the effects of mycorrhiza and Pi on the expression of seven putative sugar transporter genes in tomato plants. The expression ofLeSUT1andLeHT2, classified, respectively, as putative sucrose and hexose transporter genes, were down-regulated in the roots inoculated with AM fungiGlomus caledoniumorGlomus intraradices. Unexpectedly, the expression ofLeST3, a putative monosaccharide transporter gene, was decreased by inoculation ofGlomus caledonium, but was enhanced by inoculation ofGlomus intraradicesin both the roots and leaves. High-Pi in the tomato decreased the expression ofLeHT2andLeST3in the roots, and enhanced that ofLeHT2in the leaves. The contradictory regulation of the expression ofLeST3in the AM symbiosis indicates that different interaction may take place during mycorrhizal colonization, and a quite complicated regulation of expression of the sugar transporter genes exist in mycorrhizal tomato.
