Use of arbuscular mycorrhiza as additive to improve tomato quality in green house production
The overall goal of the project “MycoTom” is the development of a method to use the positive effects of plant's interaction with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in order to improve the quality of tomato fruits. We aim to develop a method for an efficient mycorrhization of commercially used tomato cultivars under greenhouse production conditions. In parallel, we want to develop a test system allowing tomato producers to evaluate the quality of their tomatoes fast and easily. The test system will be based on molecular markers identified by comparative transcriptome analyses and will employ RNA-DNA hybridizations followed by a staining reaction. The project is funded by the BMBF in frame of “KMU-innovative-18”.
