Abstract
Intracellular colonization is essential for the life cycle of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the efficiency of plant nutrient uptake. AM functionality is highly associated with the life cycle of intracellular colonization. The colonization cycle is controlled in a cell-autonomous manner. Mycorrhizal roots represent a mosaic of various intracellular colonization stages. Therefore, biochemical studies cannot accurately track the functional dynamics at a cellular level. To better understand the association between colonization dynamics and its functions, a high-resolution spatiotemporal imaging technique is crucial.
