Comparison of the transcript levels in the knockout mutants of SYNW0947 and SYNW0948 with their isogenic parent (all grown under P-replete conditions) supported the hypothesis that the two- component regulatory system encoded by these genes is important to the regulation of P metabolism of ...
less-soluble rock phosphate. Mycorrhizal benefits are not limited to improved phosphate uptake in host plants. In legumes, mycorrhizal inoculation has increased nitrogen fixation beyond levels achieved by adding phosphate fertilizer alone. Certain symbiotic associations also increase the host plant's resista...
