MEDINA-GARCIA, Laura R.. The agriculture, salinity and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: a need, a problem and an alternative. cultrop [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.3, pp. 42-49. ISSN 1819-4087.

Among the adverse conditions of farming systems, salinity is the most influential factor on the establishment of human populations. Salinity inhibits plant growth and productivity, induces osmotic imbalances relationships between soil and plants and in the metabolism of these. Stress tolerance in plants is a complex phenomenon involving many changes at the biochemical and physiological level. The mechanisms behind stress tolerance seem to be affected by the colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, numerous studies demonstrating that inoculation with these fungi improving plant growth under salt stress, so the knowledge of the interactions between different AMF species and soil conditions leading to the establishment of better adapted populations and more effective to ensure the benefits of symbiotic association under these conditions
