Plants form a symbiotic association to improve their nutrition with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which increase to absorption phosphorus (P) and the expression of transporters of the family <em>Pht1</em>. Few studies have focused on native maize plants and AMF. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the morpho-physiological response and expression of phosphate <em>Pht1</em> transporters in two native maize plants inoculated with <em>Claroideoglomus etunicatum</em> and P concentrations. The height, leaf area, dry biomass, CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, intercellular CO<sub>2</sub>, water potential, greenness index, total chlorophyll, and <em>ZEAma; Pht1;3</em> and <em>ZEAma; Pht1;6</em> transporter expressions in maize plants under P (0.01 and 1 mM) concentrations were evaluated. The results showed that each native maize plant had a differential response in morpho-physiology and transporter expressions when they were inoculated with AMF and P. The response of maize plant was related with its genotype and phenotype plus environmental factor that influenced the AMF-host interaction, mycorrhizal colonization and soil nutrient absorption.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca}, author={VALERIO-LANDA, Sergio and ZULUETA-RODRIGUEZ, Ramon and QUIÑONES-AGUILAR, Evangelina E. and LARA-CAPISTRAN, Liliana and ANGULO, Carlos and PRECIADO-RANGEL, Pablo and HERNANDEZ-MONTIEL, Luis G.}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={1357–1368} }
