Article Synopsis
- Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a beneficial relationship between plant roots and fungi that helps plants absorb nutrients and cope with environmental stresses.
- RNA-seq technology was used to analyze the gene expression in tomato roots at 7 and 30 days after being inoculated with the fungus, identifying 1,019 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with a strong emphasis on plant defense, growth, and nutrient transport.
- The study offers new insights into the role of AM-responsive genes in tomato roots, enhancing our understanding of the interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi over short and long durations.
Salinity is a widespread abiotic stress that devastatingly impacts wheat growth and restricts its productivity worldwide. The present study is aimed at elucidating biochemical, physiological, anatomical, gene expression analysis, and agronomic responses of three diverse wheat genotypes to different salinity levels. A salinity treatment of 5000 and 7000 ppm gradually reduced photosynthetic pigments, anatomical root and leaf measurements and agronomic traits of all evaluated wheat genotypes (Ismailia line, Misr 1, and Misr 3).
