Notes:
Summary Variations in membrane potential difference (PD) were observed between root cortical cells ofAllium porrum plants, uninfected and infected withGlomus E3: cell membrane potential was constantly hyperpolarised in the latter during the time course of infection and at all degrees of infection. This hyperpolarisation persisted in the presence of an inhibitor (2,4-dinitrophenol) and of an activator (fusicoccin) of transport membrane processes, suggesting that long-distance signals generated by the fungus could be involved.
