High effectiveness of Rhizophagus irregularis is linked to superior modulation of antioxidant defence mechanisms in Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. genotypes grown under salinity stress.

Abstract excerpt

Salinity stress leads to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can cause oxidative damage in plants. A correlation between antioxidant capacity and salt tolerance has been demonstrated in several plant species, which may be enhanced by inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, plant responses to mycorrhization may differ depending on the host plant as well as AMF isolate. It...
