"Phosphate transport from the soil via the fungus to the plant. The primary function of AM is phosphate uptake, and the cloning of the phosphate transporters that are responsible for this uptake is therefore a key goal. (a) A fungal phosphate transporter that is involved in the uptake of inorganic phosphate from the soil has been cloned from two AM fungi and and is regulated by phosphate concentration in the environment. (b) Immunolocalisation of the Medicago protein on the periphery of the arbuscule suggests that this transporter operates within the periarbuscular membrane. How the fungus (c) transports phosphate out of its cytoplasm into the periarbuscular space remains to be determined." (Parniske, 2004)
