Abstract:

In this study, Suillus luteus (Sl01) and Boletus sp. (Bo08), isolated from the acidic forest soil, and Cenococcum geophilum (CgSIV) were cultured in liquid media with various potassium concentrations and Ca2+ signal inhibitors to investigate mechanism of H+ effluxes by ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) under low potassium stress. The results showed that in normal potassium concentration, H+ effluxes by ectomycorrhizal fungi of the three isolates were not inhibited by trifluoperazine (TFP) and ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA). In low potassium concentration, the H+ efflux by Bo08 and Sl01 was decreased significantly in the presence of TFP and EGTA. The results suggested that Ca2+ would be a signal factor that could regulate H+ efflux by Bo08 and Sl01 in this experiment conditions of low potassium stress on the fungi.

Key words: potassium, Ca2+ signal inhibitors, ECMF
