Peanut‐Colonized Piriformospora indica Enhanced Drought Tolerance by Modulating the Enzymes and Expression of Drought‐Related Genes

) was decreased in P. indica colonized peanut. In conclusion, P. indica mediated peanut plant protection against the detrimental effects of drought resulted from enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, and the upregulated expression of drought-related genes for lower membrane damage.
