Abstract
The salt tolerant ability of plants is dependent upon multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions and maintain ion homeostasis. A pot experiment was conducted to examine the effect of two different arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Glomus mosseae and Acaulospora laevis along with Bradyrhizobium sp. on growth and nutrient uptake of cluster bean plants grown under different levels of soil salinity stress (4 dSm -1 , 8dSm -1 , 12 dSm -1 ). Under saline conditions, mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased growth parameters as well as nutrient uptake of cluster bean plants over control. The extent of bioinoculants response on plant growth as well as AM (arbuscular mycorrhizal) root colonization varied with the increase in salinity level. Various growth parameters like plant height, fresh and dry shoot weight were recorded highest in dual combination of G. mosseae and A. laevis at 4 dS/m while root length, total chlorophyll, AM root colonization and AM spore number were found to be maximum in G. mosseae at the same salinity level. Greater P acquisition and yield was observed at 4 dS/m with dual combination (G. mosseae and A. laevis) that possibly be responsible for protecting plants from salt stress. Although Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K + ) and Sodium (Na + ) contents also varied with increasing salinity in bioinoculant treated plants over control. Overall results showed that AM colonization improves host plant mineral concentration and thereby increases the growth, yield and nutrient uptake of cluster bean ameliorating the harmful effect at salinity stress.
