A split-root system to assess biocontrol effectiveness and defense-related genetic responses in above-ground tissues during the tripartite interaction Verticillium dahliae-olive-Pseudomonas fluorescens PICF7 in roots

[Background and aims] The olive root endophyte Pseudomonas fluorescens PICF7 is an effective biocontrol agent of Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO). Colonization of olive roots either by strain PICF7 or by Verticillium dahliae triggers differential systemic transcriptomic responses, many of them related with defense-related genes. The aims were to develop an olive split-root system for assessing VWO development and biocontrol effectiveness of strain PICF7 in plants with a divided root architecture, and for evaluating systemic defense responses during this tripartite interaction when strain PICF7 and V. dahliae are spatially separated.
