Abstract:
A pot experiment was directed to investigate the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ‎‎(AMF) on growth and physiological traits of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) plants ‎exposed to varying salt concentrations (0, 75 and 150 mM NaCl) and also to study the effect of ‎these salt concentrations on AM root colonization. The results revealed that the increase in salt ‎concentration caused a decrease in growth responses, water status and chlorophyll content. ‎However AMF inoculation enhanced the growth, proline content and levels of antioxidant ‎enzymes and phosphatase in fenugreek plants compared to non-AM treated ones. These effects ‎were related to the mycorrhizal colonization levels in the colonized plants. Also under salt stress, ‎mycorrhizal dependency of fenugreek plants grown at both lower (75mM NaCl) and higher salt ‎concentration (150 mM NaCl) was clearly higher than those in control soil. Finally, from these ‎results, we suggested that AMF inoculation was effective in improving the tolerance of ‎fenugreek to salinity.‎
