Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Under salt, AM plants produced greater root and shoot dry weights than non-AM controls
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity reduced shoot and root dry weights of lettuce
- Association The salt-induced decrease in dry weight was greater in uninoculated plants
- Intervention effect Under salt, shoot dry weight was not reduced in G. fasciculatum-colonized plants
- Association At the highest salt level, shoot dry weight of uninoculated plants was reduced by about 35%
- Intervention effect Proline accumulation was considerably lower in P-amended plants than in unamended plants, except G. mosseae-colonized plants
- Association Transpiration, CER and stomatal conductance were higher in mycorrhizal lettuce plants
- Association Water use efficiency was higher in mycorrhizal lettuce plants
- Intervention effect At 5 g NaCl kg-1, mycorrhizal treatment increased photosynthesis and WUE by more than 100% relative to uninoculated plants
- Intervention effect Phosphorus content of P-fertilized non-AM lettuce was similar to or higher than in G. mosseae- and G. fasciculatum-colonized plants
- Association G. deserticola colonization gave the highest P content regardless of salt level
- Mechanism The effect of G. mosseae and G. fasciculatum on salt tolerance could not be attributed to a difference in P content
