Abstract:Background and Aims: Salinity causes significant environmental stress restricting plant growth and development, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can protect plants against salt stress through different mechanisms. The aim of this study was to explore the local and systemic effects of AMF in alfalfa plants under non-uniform salinity and the mechanisms underlying these effects.
Methods: Alfalfa plants were subjected to uniform and non-uniform salt stress using a split-root system, with one or both root com… Show more
