Transcriptomic responses of Solanum tuberosum cv. Pirol to arbuscular mycorrhiza and potato virus Y (PVY) infection.

ABSTRACT: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) serve as both plant symbionts and allies in resisting pathogens and environmental stresses. Mycorrhizal colonization of plant roots can influence the outcomes of plant-pathogen interactions by enhancing specific host defense mechanisms. The transcriptional responses induced by AMF in virus-infected plants remain largely unexplored. In the presented study, we employed a comprehensive transcriptomic approach and qPCR to investigate the molecular determinants underlying the interaction between AMF and potato virus Y (PVY) in Solanum tuberosum L. Our primary goal was to identify the symbiosis- and defense-related determinants activated in mycorrhizal potatoes facing PVY. Through a comparative analysis of mRNA transcriptomes in experimental treatments comprisi
