@article{Porcel2011SalinitySA, title={Salinity stress alleviation using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. A review}, author={Rosa Porcel and Ricardo Aroca and Juan Manuel Ruiz-Lozano}, journal={Agronomy for Sustainable Development}, year={2011}, volume={32}, pages={181-200} }
Salinity is one of the most severe environmental stress as it decreases crop production of more than 20% of irrigated land worldwide. Hence, it is important to develop salt-tolerant crops. Understanding the mechanisms that enable plant growth under saline conditions is therefore required. Acclimation of plants to salinized conditions depends upon activation of cascades of molecular networks involved in stress sensing, signal transduction, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and…
