Indigenous and commercial isolates of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi display differential effects in Pyrus betulaefolia roots and elicit divergent transcriptomic and metabolomic responses

Abstract excerpt

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil fungi which can effectively help plants with acquisition of mineral nutrients and water and promote their growth and development. The effects of indigenous and commercial isolates of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on pear (Pyrus betulaefolia) trees, however, remains unclear. Methods Trifolium repens was used to propagate indigenous AMF to simulate...
