In this study consequences of phosphate uptake via the arbuscular mycorrhizal uptake pathway on the leaf ionome, metabolome and transcriptome were analysed in the crop plant Zea mays. The improved P-status of mycorrhizal plants was accompanied by increased P-concentrations, changes in lipid- and anthocyanin-accumulation and an increased carbohydrate versus amino acid ratio at leaf level. Moreover induction of plant defence genes and accumulation of saponin precursors alpha- and beta-amyrin as putative defence compounds suggest a mycorrhiza-induced priming of the plant to counteract to pathogen attack. The work emphasises the impact of belowground arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis for the physiological status of plant leaves.
