Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Root branching was more pronounced in dry conditions than in flooded conditions.
- Association In wetlands the colonization level was comparable with dry conditions until 21 dpi.
- Association Mycorrhization decreased after 21 dpi in wetlands.
- Association Aerenchyma increased in wetlands in parallel with the decrease in mycorrhization.
- Intervention effect Expression of the fungal transporters was comparable between flooded and dry conditions.
- Observation The root apparatus rapidly adapted when shifted from one water regime to the other.
- Observation Expression changes of plant marker genes mirrored the reversibility of the rice AM symbiosis.
- Mechanism The water regime drives AM colonization by directly influencing root architecture and anatomy.
- Observation The water regime did not impact the basic AM functionality of rice.
