Article Synopsis
- Date palms are crucial for Mediterranean ecosystems, especially in Morocco, but they face challenges from desertification, climate change, and salinity.
- Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have potential as eco-friendly solutions to enhance date palm growth and salt tolerance.
- The study evaluated both native and non-native AMF effects on date palm seedlings under different salinity levels, finding that non-native AMF performed better in promoting growth and antioxidant enzyme activities.
