- Intervention effect Salinity reduced net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and relative water content in both non-mycorrhizal and AM black locust, with smaller reductions in AM plants.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, AM fungi improved net photosynthetic rate in black locust.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, AM fungi improved quantum efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry in black locust.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, AM fungi improved K+ content in black locust.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, AM fungi reduced Na+ content in black locust.
- Intervention effect At 200 mM NaCl, AM black locust had a decrease in shoot/root ratio of Na+ compared with NM plants.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal colonization upregulated RppsbA expression in black locust leaves.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal colonization upregulated RppsbD expression in black locust leaves.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal colonization upregulated RprbcL expression in black locust leaves.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal colonization upregulated RpSOS1 expression in black locust roots.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal colonization upregulated RpHKT1 expression in black locust roots.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal colonization upregulated RpSKOR expression in black locust roots.
- Intervention effect AM symbiosis regulated several aquaporin genes in leaves and roots depending on soil salinity.
- Mechanism The authors attributed improved growth and salt tolerance to AM effects on photosynthetic capacity, water status and K+/Na+ homeostasis.
