Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods of improving mycorrhization in a plant or plant cell. Another aspect of this disclosure is directed to a genetically modified plant or plant cell with improved mycorrhization.
Claims19
A method for improving mycorrhization in a plant or plant cell, comprising expressing an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a Lectin receptor-like kinase 1 (LecRLKI) variant or homolog in the plant or plant cell, wherein the expression of the LecRKL1 variant or homolog improves mycorrhizal symbiosis in the plant or plant cell, and wherein the LecRLKI variant or homolog comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 98% identical to the amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO:
- 78.
A genetically modified plant or plant cell comprising an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a Lectin receptor-like kinase 1 (LecRLK1) variant or homolog in the plant or plant cell, wherein the LecRLK1 variant or homolog is expressed in the plant or plant cell, and wherein the LecRLK1 variant or homolog comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 98% identitical to the amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO:
- 78.
An expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a Lectin receptor-like kinase 1 (LecRLK1) allelic variant or homolog operably linked to a heterologous regulatory region that is functional in a plant or plant cell, wherein the LecRLK1 variant or homolog comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 98% identical to the amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO:
- 78.
