Proposed model of the LjNIP1 role and localization. The proposed LjNIP1 localization model (orange circles) within an arbusculated cortical cell. The scheme illustrates an intracellular fungal arbuscule, surrounded by the periarbuscular membrane. The vacuole (V) develops among the fungal branches and its tonoplast joins the periarbuscular membrane at some points. LjNIP1 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum surrounding the nucleus (N), in the inner membrane systems and in the tonoplast.
