Trichoderma reesei improved the nutrition status of wheat crop under salt stress

The use of plant endophytes to release salt stress is cheap and quick. In this respect, we have isolated an endophytic fungus (Trichoderma reesei) from Solanum surattense that promoted the wheat growth under salt stress. The results showed that the fungal inoculated wheat plants had higher chlorophy...

Description
Summary:The use of plant endophytes to release salt stress is cheap and quick. In this respect, we have isolated an endophytic fungus (Trichoderma reesei) from Solanum surattense that promoted the wheat growth under salt stress. The results showed that the fungal inoculated wheat plants had higher chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids, reduced glutathione (GSH), ascorbate, peroxidase, catalase, weight of plant, flavonoids, total soluble protein, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and relative water contents. Also, T. reesei treated plants showed higher IAA, GA, Ca and K, while lower ABA, H 2 O 2 , phenol, sugar, proline, electrical conductivity, malondialdehyde (MDA), Na + and Cl − . The results concluded that the integrative use of T. reesei might help the wheat plants to stand salt stress.
