Transcriptional profiles of endophyte Serendipita indica associated with plant growth improvement in watermelon
Improved watermelon plant growth and nutrients availability have been elucidated from different physiological and molecular perspectives, and the phenotypic and genotypic variations in various plant traits are the definitive explanations for our hypothesis. These results emphasize the synergistic effects of S. indica on the nutritional status and growth characteristics of watermelon plants through the upregulation of certain secondary metabolites and other plant processes.
