Symbiotic interaction between plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere is an important factor affecting plant growth and fitness. Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi symbiosis increases resistance of the plants to stress factors, including pathogens. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an important destructive virus damaging tomatoes and peppers with losses that can reach 100%. It is listed on the list of current quarantine organisms in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of root colonization with <i>Funneliformis mosseae</i> or/and <i>Azospirillum brasilense</i> on ToBRFV symptoms and viral titre reduction. Plants treated with arbuscular mycorhizal fungi (AMF) had lower symptom emergence after 14 dpi, however there was no difference in symptoms emergence after 21 dpi within all treatments. The highest colonization intensity by <i>Funneliformis mosseae</i> was detected in ToBRFV negative plants treated with both AMF and Azospirillum (AZO) and the lowest in ToBRFV positive plants with the same treatment (AMF + AZO). Colonization intensity of <i>Azospirillum brasilense</i> in all treated variants went from 20% to 41%. Results suggest that the combination of those two beneficial microorganisms in ToBRFV-infected plants negatively affected AMF colonization.
