Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi live in mutualistic symbioses with plant roots, in which the fungus provides the plant with enhanced mineral uptake from the soil, principally phosphate, in exchange for carbon to support fungal growth (reviewed in [Bonfante and Genre, 2010][1]). Phosphate status is
