Phenotype and molecular characterization of tomato AM-composite plant roots. Percentage of total root length colonized in wt (adventitious laterals and non-cotranformed hairy roots) and HR (cotransformed hairy roots) from composite plants 45 days after inoculation with R. irregularis (A). Trypan blue staining showing AM fungal colonization and arbuscule morphology in HR (B, C) and wt roots (D, E). Expression of the AM associated gene SlPT4 in the corresponding roots with respect to the non-inoculated roots (F). Values correspond to mean ± SE. Bars with a same letter are not significantly different (P > 0.05) according to LSD multiple comparison test
