Expression of SYMRK affects the development of arbuscular mycorrhiza in tobacco roots
SYMRK is a plant receptor-like kinase with a role in root endosymbiosis. Heterologous expression of SYMRK from non-legumes can complement the loss-of-function effects of the mutant symrk in legumes. However, it i...

PhPT4 Is a Mycorrhizal-Phosphate Transporter Suppressed by Lysophosphatidylcholine in Petunia Roots
An important characteristic of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the transfer of phosphate from AM fungi to plants. This transfer is facilitated by mycorrhiza-inducible phosphate transporter proteins. L...

Production of isoflavone genistein in transgenic IFS tobacco roots and its role in stimulating the development of arbuscular mycorrhiza
Flavonoids and isoflavonoids are secondary metabolites in plants. With the goal of obtaining isoflavonoids from a wide range of plants, a few key studies have proven that isoflavonoids can be produced in non-l...
