Date palm Transcriptome Analysis provides New Insights on Changes in Response to High Salt Stress of Colonized Roots with the Endophytic Fungus Piriformospora indica

In this study, the colonization of P. indica on date palm seedlings exposed to saline conditions was observed through confocal microscopy, and its impact on gene expressions was evaluated using transcriptomic analysis. Our findings show that P. indica colonization reinforced the cortical cells, preventing them from plasmolysis and cell death under salinity.
