Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect All tested AM fungi increased tomato tolerance to stress.
- Association The benefits of AM symbiosis correlated with stress severity.
- Intervention effect The AMF isolate from the stressful environment was most effective at improving tomato salt-stress tolerance.
- Observation Differentially accumulated compounds were identified in the tomato stress study.
- Observation Antistress properties were confirmed for some identified compounds.
- Observation Some tomato responses were shared across all AMF, while others were isolate-specific.
- Observation Salt stress involved substantial metabolic reprogramming in tomato.
- Mechanism Mycorrhizal plants had differentially accumulated pathways and compounds that may underlie enhanced stress tolerance.
