Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PAM1
• Gene Name: penetration and arbuscule morphogenesis 1
• Genome:
• Species: Petunia hybrida

Functional Descriptions:

• We have previously identified a mutant in Petunia hybrida, penetration and arbuscule morphogenesis 1 (PAM1), that is defective in the intracellular stages of AM development.
• Here, we report on the cloning of PAM1, which encodes a VAPYRIN homologue. PAM1 protein localizes to the cytosol and the nucleus, with a prominent affinity to mobile spherical structures that are associated with the tonoplast, and are therefore referred to as tonospheres.

• PAM1 may represent a component of an ancient cellular machinery that pre-dates the advent of vascular plants, and which became essential, during the course of the evolution of AM symbiosis, for intracellular accommodation and morphogenesis of the fungal endosymbiont.
