Another scientific paper has emerged from the collaboration of partners on the project, titled: “Tripartite interactions between grapevine, viruses, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provide insights into modulation of oxidative stress responses.”

Highlights

• AMF are integral part of ROS homeostasis in grapevine coping with virus stress.
• AMF reduced activity of ascorbate-glutathion cycle implying reduced ROS production.
• In the later phase of AM establishment, AMF intensifed H₂O₂ reduction by GPOD.
• STS1 and EDS1 relative expressions confirm lower oxidative stress in AMF plants.
• Virus infected grapevine shows reduced oxidative stress due to AMF symbiosis.
