Mycorrhizal symbiosis-induced abiotic stress mitigation through phosphate transporters in Solanum lycopersicum L. Plant Growth Regulation, 1-17. (2022)

The impact of AM fungi on tomato plants under water deficit and heat stress was studied, with a focus on phosphate transporters. AM fungi seemingly mitigated heat and combined (heat and water deficit) stresses through the mediation of the expression of Pht1 family phosphate transporter genes.
