Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Saline soil treatment significantly reduced photosynthetic pigment contents (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids) in Cucurbita maxima.
- Intervention effect Saline soil treatment significantly reduced N, P and K mineral contents in Cucurbita maxima.
- Intervention effect Saline soil treatment significantly reduced Mg and Ca mineral contents in Cucurbita maxima.
- Intervention effect Saline soil treatment significantly reduced leaf relative water content (LRWC), shoot length and dry weight in Cucurbita maxima.
- Intervention effect Saline soil treatment significantly reduced arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization of Cucurbita maxima roots, from 45.45 to 20.34%.
- Intervention effect Saline soil treatment significantly reduced mycorrhizal dependency of Cucurbita maxima, from 100.00% to 13.87%.
- Mechanism Mycorrhizal association is asserted to let the inoculated Cucurbita maxima survive severe salt stress through altered K+/Na+ ratio, root network and nutrient uptake.
- Observation Saline and garden soils differed significantly in pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable cations, organic carbon and EC.
- Observation Cucurbita maxima can tolerate or survive soil salinity by itself or in association with Rhizophagus irregularis.
