A high-throughput RNA-Seq approach to elucidate the transcriptional response of Piriformospora indica to high salt stress

Abstract Piriformospora indica, a root endophytic fungus, augments plant nutrition and productivity as well as protects plants against pathogens and abiotic stresses. High salinity is a major problem faced by plants as well as by microbes. Until now, the precise mechanism of salt stress tolerance in...
