How mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria team up to maintain plant nitrogen acquisition under drought

While arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) influence plant nitrogen (N) acquisition and drought tolerance, the complex interactions governing N uptake under varying water deficits remain unclear. To addressing this, well-characterized mycorrhizal tomato type (MYC) and its mycorrhiza-defective mutant (referred to as rmc) were labeled under normal and drought conditions in a greenhouse.
