Endophytic fungi are known to enhance plant growth and performance under salt stress. The current study investigated the growth, as well as biochemical and molecular properties of <i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> colonized with the mutualistic fungus <i>Piriformospora indica</i>, under control and salinity stress. Our findings indicated an increase in the plant biomass, lateral root density, and chlorophyll content of <i>P. indica</i>-colonized plants under both normal and salt stress conditions. Furt ...[more]
