Fig. 1.Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonization assessment in tomato potted plants (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Moneymaker) inoculated with a commercial inoculum (MycAgro, Funneliformis mosseae). (A) Representative images of AMF-inoculated roots. Scale bars 120 µm (Aa), 60 µm (Ab), and 20 µm (Ac). (B) Frequency of mycorrhization in root system. (C) Arbuscule abundance in the colonized root system. Data are means ±SE. Lower case letters above bars denote significant differences as assessed by Tukey’s HSD test (P<0.05) and are reported only when the priming treatment (T)×stress condition (S) interaction is significant. ns, not significant; *, significant at P≤0.05. Analysis of variance on the single variables is reported in Supplementary Table S1. CHI, chitosan; CTRL, control, untreated; MYC, inoculated; NMYC, not inoculated; NS, not stressed; SA, salicylic acid; SS, salt stress; WS, water stress.

🍅 SPECIAL ISSUE RESEARCH 🍅

Priming with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi & natural compounds enhances tomato resilience to drought & salinity by remodelling transcriptomes and metabolomes, boosting antioxidant & osmoprotective responses - Giovannini et al.
