What is it about?
The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between Hebeloma cylindrosporum and Pinus pinaster improves the P nutrition of the tree. We have established the role of the third fungal phosphate transporter, HcPT1.2, in P uptake by the ectomycorrhizas, using immunolocalisation and yeast transformation. We have shown that this transporter is found only in external hyphae whatever P availability.

Why is it important?
The data reported indicate that this transporter cannot be involved in Pi release at symbiotic interfaces because it was not found in these interfaces.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure because it concluded many years of work about the role of fungal transporters in Pi uptake and release towards the host plant.
