Integrated multi-omics analysis reveals coordinated root and rhizosphere responses underlying AMF-mediated drought tolerance in kiwifruit.
Drought stress substantially restricts kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) growth and productivity, yet the mechanisms through which arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) promote drought tolerance remain insufficiently understood. To address this gap, root physiological and molecular analyses were integrated with multi-omics profi...
