Expression of PvTOR in various tissues and in mycorrhized wild-type P. vulgaris plants. (A) RT-qPCR analysis of PvTOR transcript levels in different vegetative and reproductive organs. (B) AM fungal colonized roots were stained and assessed for percent mycorrhizal root length colonization under a light microscope at different time points. The remaining root portions were used for RT-qPCR analysis to measure (C) PvTOR and (D) PT-4 expression in AM roots at different time points. Transcript accumulation was normalized to the expression of EIF4a and IDE, which were used as reference genes. For C and D, the statistical significance of differences between uninoculated and Ri-inoculated roots was determined using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001). For A–D, error bars refer to the SE of the mean of three biological replicates (n > 9). Ri, R. irregularis; dpi, days post inoculation; wpi, week(s) post inoculation.
