Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how dark septate endophytic fungi interact with cowpea plants under salt stress, specifically isolating two types of fungi from Vochysia divergens roots.
- The research found that while salinity negatively affected nutrient levels in cowpea plants, root colonization by the selected fungi improved nitrogen and phosphorus nutrition, promoting growth and photosynthesis.
- Notably, these beneficial effects were only significant at moderate salinity levels, indicating a limit to the fungi's positive impact in highly saline conditions.
