  abstract = {{C}hilling stress limits processing tomato growth and yield, leading to high losses. {A}n approach to increase the sustainability of crop production could involve the use of beneficial microorganisms. {T}he objectives of this research were to investigate: (i) the efficacy of {F}unneliformis mosseae and {P}araburkholderia graminis {C}4{D}1{M} in avoiding processing tomato damage during severe chilling stress; (ii) the synergic effect of the two microorganisms inoculated as a consortium; (iii) if the putative microorganism effects depended on the processing tomato genotype. {T}o achieve these objectives, two experiments were carried out. {I}n the first experiment, a modern genotype was assessed, while three genotypes were evaluated in the second experiment. {A}t sowing, {F}. mosseae was mixed with peat. {N}ine days after sowing, {P}. graminis was inoculated close to the plant's root collar. {A}fter 40 days of seed sowing, chilling treatment was performed at 1 degrees {C} for 24 h. {F}. mosseae mainly reduced the cell membrane injuries in term of electrolytic leakage and efficiency of photosystem {II}, after the chilling stress in both experiments. {C}onversely, in the second experiment, the consortium improved the seedling regrowth, increasing the efficiency of photosystem {II}. {I}n addition, modern genotypes inoculated with microorganisms showed a better seedling regrowth.},
