Description Accepted date: 5 January 2017
The symbiotic association of Piriformospora
indica provides growth promotion leading to increased
biomass as well as enhanced plant tolerance to biotic
and abiotic stresses in a variety of plant species. Since
various protein kinases are thought to be involved in mutual
signaling in symbiotic interactions, we analyzed transcript
profile of rice protein kinase genes during the infection
process by real-time PCR. A rice L-type lectin
protein kinase (OslecRK) and Arabidopsis AtLecRK genes
are highly upregulated in roots during the initial stage of
symbiotic association. In order to investigate the role of
LecRK gene in root colonization, the Arabidopsis mutant
line (Atlecrk) of rice homolog was used which shows the
restricted intracellular penetration of the P. indica hyphae.
The results indicate that LecRK might be a crucial factor
in perception and recognition during plant–P. indica association
by regulating fungal invasion.
