The Mycorrhiza Fungus Piriformospora indica Induces Fast Root-Surface pH Signaling and Primes Systemic Alkalinization of the Leaf Apoplast Upon Powdery Mildew Infection

We analyze here, by noninvasive electrophysiology, local and systemic plant responses in the interaction of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with the root-colonizing basidiomycete Piriformospora indica. In the short term (seconds, minutes), a constant flow of P. indica chlamydospores along primary roots...
