Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Salt Stress: A Review

Biodiversity is essential to sustaining the ecosystem and preserving ecological balance.However, the growing risk of salt stress brought on by extensive irrigation and chemical fertilizer use has made biodiversity protection extremely difficult and lowers crop productivity. ArbuscularMycorrhizal (AM) fungi are symbiotic soil microorganisms, plays the important role in relievingthe argumentative effects of salt stress in plants.This comprehensive review produces current knowledge related to the complex associationbetween AM fungi and salinity in terrestrial ecosystems. It investigates how AM fungi improve plants resistance to salt stress. Furthermore, the review investigates the remarkable biodiversity of AM fungi from different plant associations worldwide, emphasizing the significance of choosing appropriate AM fungi species aimed ateffective ecosystem restoration and agricultural practices in saline environments.This research offers important insights into tying AM fungis capacity to counteract salt-induced biodiversity loss and boost agricultural yield in saline soils by elucidating the intricate relationships between AM fungi and salt stress. This review highlights the need for further research to unravel the complexities of this symbiotic relationship and develop sustainable strategies for countering the problems of salt stress and crop productivity.
