Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Overexpression of genes involved in coumarin production and secretion can mitigate mycorrhizal incompatibility in nonhost Arabidopsis plants. The coumarin scopoletin, in particular, stimulates pre-penetration development and metabolism in mycorrhizal fungi. Although most plants can benefit from mutualistic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, nonhost plant species such as the model...
