Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant salt tolerance to salt stress using endogenous phytohormones.

How Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Boost Plant Salt Tolerance by Reprogramming Phytohormones

A new review in Archives of Microbiology highlights how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant salt tolerance by regulating endogenous phytohormones. The study synthesizes recent evidence showing how AMF improve symbiosis, water use efficiency, antioxidant defenses, and photosynthesis under salinity stress—offering key insights for sustainable agriculture on saline-alkali soils.
