Halotolerant Endophytic Fungi: Diversity, Host Plants, and Mechanisms in Plant Salt–Alkali Stress Alleviation

Salty and alkaline soil is destroying farmland worldwide, but special fungi living inside plants can help crops survive these harsh conditions. These fungi work like a team with plants, producing protective substances and helping plants manage salt and reduce damage from stress. Scientists reviewed 150 studies and found these fungi boost crop yields by 15-40%, offering a natural way to farm on degraded land without more chemicals.

Strategies for Enhancing Resilience in Horticultural Crops Against Combined Abiotic Stresses

As climate change brings more extreme weather, vegetable and fruit crops face multiple environmental challenges simultaneously, like drought, high salt content, and heat. Scientists have developed practical approaches to make these crops stronger, including breeding tougher varieties, grafting plants onto hardy rootstocks, and applying special nanoparticles and natural plant boosters. These combined strategies help crops survive harsh conditions while maintaining good yields and quality, supporting food security for growing populations worldwide.
