Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots, providing nutritional benefits and promoting plant growth and defenses against various stresses. Metabolic changes in the roots during AM fungal colonization are key to understanding the development and maintenance of such symbioses. Here, we investigated metabolic changes in the roots of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) plants during the colonization and development of AM symbiosis and compared to uncolonized roots. The primary changes during the initial stage of AM colonization were in the content and composition of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid compounds. These compounds function in signaling pathways that regulate recognitions, interactions, and pre-colonization between roots and AM fungi. Flavonoid compounds decreased by 25% when the symbiosis was fully established compared to the initial colonization. After AM symbiosis was established, general metabolism strongly shifted toward the formation of lipids, amino acids, carboxylic acids, and carbohydrates. Lipid compounds increased by 8.5% from the pre-symbiotic stage to well-established symbiosis. Lyso-phosphatidylcholines, which are signaling compounds, were only present in AM roots, and decreased in content after the symbiosis was established. In the initial stage of AM establishment, the content of salicylic acid increased two-fold, whereas jasmonic acid and abscisic acid decreased compared to uncolonized roots. Jasmonic acid content decreased i...
