This study shows acetic acid improves tomato drought tolerance by reducing transcriptomic and proteomic changes under water deficit, without relying on jasmonate signaling.

The paper uses multimodal analysis to uncover how fungal symbionts reprogram plant sensory systems through coordinated transcriptional, metabolic, and phenotypic responses, revealing novel integration hubs and mechanisms.

This study shows that a fungal-based biostimulant prevents transcriptomic changes in tomato plants under long-term water scarcity, improving yield and stress tolerance.
