More to trade between plants and beneficial fungi? (IMAGE)
Caption
Entomopathogenic fungi such as Metarhizium robertsii can form a rhizosphere relationship with plants like Arabidopsis thaliana in a sterile-root hydroponic system to supply the immune stimulator factor pipecolic acid to plants. The gnotobiotic inoculation of fungal spores can promote plant defenses against the bacterial pathogen and aphid attacks.
