Nowadays, social warning for the natural environment is increasing and the use of agrochemicals in crop management is being reduced due to pollution and health issues and they are becoming less accepted by the sociality. For this reason, many researches are addressed to look for more environmental friendly alternatives. One interesting alternative that is being investigating lately is the use of beneficial microorganisms, like mycorrhiza fungi, in crop management and crop protection. Mycorrhiza are soil fungi that form symbiotic associations with plants roots worldwide, providing the plant a better nutrition as well as a more efficient response against different challenges. In this research study, we analysed the impact on tomato plants of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rizophagus irregularis from a genetic point of view, against two different stresses. On the one hand, an abiotic stress that consisted on the subjection of the plants to a transient N starvation. On the other hand, plants faced a biotic stress, an infection by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The combination of both stresses have also been studied. To do that we carried out an analysis of some genes expression in the plant leaves involved in plant defense and in nitrate uptake and signalling. [-]
