[Article] Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi improve growth, essential oil, secondary metabolism, and yield of tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) under drought stress conditions | SCIENCES DU VEGETAL | Scoop.it

"Drought is a major environmental threat limiting worldwide crop production. Drought stress affects the tobacco quality and yield; therefore, the current research studies were undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) under drought stress on morphological and biochemical attributes of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. variety Yunyan 87). AMF-inoculated and AMF-non-inoculated plants were maintained in a greenhouse and irrigated with a half-strength Hoagland solution (100 mL pot−1) once a week..."
