Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Application of the TOM Streptomyces consortium significantly promoted root and shoot growth in tomato.
- Observation Tomato roots and leaves show a predominance of down-regulated genes in local and systemic transcriptional responses.
- Observation In tomato roots, defense- and cell wall-related processes are selectively attenuated.
- Observation In tomato roots, genes for phytoalexin biosynthesis, phosphate starvation responses and hormonal regulation are increased in expression.
- Observation In tomato leaves, stress-related responses are reduced in transcriptional reprogramming.
- Observation In tomato leaves, metabolic and growth-associated functions are activated in transcriptional reprogramming.
- Observation Five Streptomyces isolates from the tomato TOM consortium inhibit fungi in vitro.
- Observation The genomes of the selected Streptomyces strains show diverse taxonomic affiliations.
- Observation The selected Streptomyces genomes carry a rich repertoire of biosynthetic gene clusters, including numerous low-similarity clusters.
