    Abstract
    Serendipita indica is a root endophytic fungus and can symbiose with many plant species. Effector proteins secreted by fungi show many functions during symbiosis or infection. To investigate the role of the protein PIIN 05330 secreted by S. indica , the gene PIIN 05330 was cloned and its transgenic Arabidopsis lines were constructed. The transgenic lines were evaluated for their drought tolerance. The results showed that these transgenic Arabidopsis lines were sensitive to drought stress during the germination stage. Compared with Arabidopsis wild type and the empty vector lines...
