MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Symbiosis / genetics; Genotype; Agriculture; Biological Evolution; Lotus / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis; Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions; Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity
TL;DR: Interestingly, the effect of expressing IPD3 in Arabidopsis and knocking it out in Lotus was strongest in plants not exposed to AMF, which is revealed to be due to changes in IPD3 genotype causing a transcriptional state, which partially mimics AMF exposure in non-inoculated plants.
