Article Synopsis
- Due to the rising global population, improving salt tolerance in food crops like wheat is becoming increasingly important, given the challenges posed by saline conditions.
- The study isolated fungal endophytes from halophytic plants, which can withstand high salt concentrations, and tested their effects on salt-sensitive wheat seeds and seedlings.
- Results showed that certain endophytes enhanced germination and growth of wheat under salt stress, indicating their potential as a natural solution to improve crop resilience in challenging environments.
