The SlDLK2 receptor, involved in the control of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, regulates hormonal balance in roots.

ABSTRACT: Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) represents a symbiotic mutualistic association between most land plants and Glomeromycota fungi. AM fungi develops specialized intraradical and highly branched structures, called arbuscules, where bidirectional exchange of nutrients between plant and fungi partners occurs, improving plant growth and fitness. Transcriptional reprogramming and hormonal regulation are necessary for the formation of the arbuscules. SlDLK2, a member of the third clade from the DWARF14 family of α, β-hydrolases closely related to the strigolactone receptor D14, is a negative regulator of arbuscule branching in tomato, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We explored the possible role of SlDLK2 on the regulation of hormonal balance. RNA-seq analy
