In a previous study, transcriptomic and untargeted metabolomic analyses contrasted two rice varieties, suggesting metabolic pathways and associated gene families involved in 1,9-D biosynthesis and secretion. However, due to the small number of varieties and technical constraints, the pool of candidate genes remained extensive, impeding precise identification and functional validation. Here, we employ ten rice varieties with diverging root-secretion properties for integrated transcriptomic and targeted metabolomic profiling. Our results demonstrate that ammonium treatment significantly enhances 1,9-D secretion across varieties, indicating a potentially conserved regulatory mechanism in rice. Integrated analysis revealed that α-linolenic acid (LN) and linoleic acid (LA) may serve as biosynthetic precursors of 1,9-D and identified key candidate genes in LN/LA metabolism, including Os04g37430, Os04g47120, Os08g39840, Os08g39850, and Os08g08220. Furthermore, our data show that root secretion of 1,9-D is actively regulated by specific transporters, including the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) member Os11g04104, the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter Os01g07870, and the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporter Os10g20390.

The TAGFA 16:1ω5 was used as a marker of AM fungal storage structures, whereas TAGFA 18:2ω6 was used as a marker of saprotrophic fungal storage structures. Our results showed that the rhizospheres of AM and non-mycorrhizal (NM) plants differed significantly in their TAGFA composition, a finding reported here for the first time. In particular, root colonization by <em>R. irregularis</em> increased TAGFA 16:1ω5 by 76 % and decreased TAGFA 18:2ω6 by 45 %, suggesting that less carbon was allocated to saprotrophic fungal storage structures. This redistribution of carbon in AM plant rhizospheres strongly influenced the content of cyclopropyl fatty acids in microbial cytomembranes, which are widely used as classical indicators of nutritional stress in soil microorganisms. The cyclopropyl-to-precursor ratio decreased significantly in AM rhizospheres, indicating that AM symbiosis effectively alleviates microbial stress in olive rhizospheres. These marked changes in the AM rhizosphere were associated with metabolic rearrangements in olive leaves. AM symbiosis generally had a positive impact on amino acid levels, particularly those of the glutamate family (glutamic acid, arginine, ornithine, and glutamine). Metabolic reprogramming also enhanced other pathways of secondary metabolism, notably flavonoids (luteolin <em>7-O-</em>glucoside and luteolin 7-O-rutinoside) and the secoiridoid oleuropein. Taken together, our results highlight the pivotal role of AM fungi in regulating the allocation of photosynthates from aboveground tissues to belowground structures, including roots and their associated mycorrhizal partners, thereby driving rhizospheric changes and priming the accumulation of defensive compounds in olive leaves.
