Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The epi tomato mutant had unchanged mycorrhizal frequency.
- Association Reduced colonization intensity in epi plants was associated with transiently elevated LeETR6 transcript.
- Observation The rin tomato mutant improved all measured mycorrhizal colonization parameters.
- Mechanism The authors suggest RIN pathway mediation of AM formation.
