Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant performance under drought, but responses depend on host genotype, fungal isolate, symbiosis duration, and stress intensity. We evaluated whether Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 mitigated short-term water deficit in the Ivor...

Aims: To determine how maize genotype, Rhizophagus irregularis inoculum, and NaCl affect germination and seedling performance, while distinguishing inoculum effects before root colonisation from responses after mycorrhizal establishment. Study Design: A 2 × 2 × 3 factorial experi...
