Project: Exploring Seawater-induced Salinity Stress Tolerance in Maize (Zea mays) via Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis
- Elucidated the effect of AMF application in alleviating salinity tolerance (15 dS m-1 NaCl) in maize (Zea mays) at the seedling stage by analysing phenotypic, photosynthetic, ionome profiling and stress-related biochemical parameters
- Identified the altered root architectural changes, such as primary and lateral root number and length, number of branch points, branching frequency, root volume, etc., at the seedling stage of maize (Zea mays) during salt stress and their modulation upon AMF inoculation
- Compared the salt stress adaptation in salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant varieties of maize and their performance after AMF application
