The aim of this project is to understand how plants supply lipids to AM fungi, what type of lipids they use and how this process is regulated. To do this we will combine plant molecular genetic approaches with high spatial-resolution mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), using state-of-the-art MSI instrumentation at Swansea University. MSI has not been used previously to study AM symbiosis, but this technique has the power to measure the lipid composition of individual root cells harbouring arbuscules. This work will provide foundation knowledge of nutrient exchange in AM symbiosis that can inform new approaches to achieve more sustainable crop production.

该项目的目的是了解植物如何向AM真菌提供脂质、它们使用什么类型的脂质以及如何调节这一过程。要做到这一点，我们将结合联合收割机植物分子遗传学的方法与高空间分辨率质谱成像（MSI），使用国家的最先进的MSI仪器在斯旺西大学。MSI以前没有被用于研究AM共生，但这项技术有能力测量单个根细胞窝藏丛枝的脂质成分。这项工作将提供AM共生中营养交换的基础知识，可以为实现更可持续的作物生产提供新的方法。
