Sustainable Agriculture in Saline-Arid and Semiarid by Use Potential of AM Fungi on Mitigates NaCl Effects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fungi as Bioremediators

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 32))

Abstract

In many arid and semiarid areas of the world which sustainability of agriculture is limited by salinity, AM fungi are a key component of sustainable plant production. AM fungi plant responses to salt stress include an array of changes at the molecular, biochemical, and physiological levels. This chapter reviews briefly the mechanism on which salt affects crop and responses of plant to salinity stress, with emphasis on the mechanism on which AM fungi ameliorate the deleterious effects of salinity.
