A fungal root endophyte functionally complements host immunity and mitigates natural immune variation in Arabidopsis

Natalie Peltz, Laura Armbruster, Christopher Stephens…·Alga Zuccaro

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Serendipita indica reduces disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis regardless of host genotype and that the immune receptor ISI contributes to root immunity but is not required for endophyte protection.
