ABSTRACT
The effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) Glomus etunicatum inoculation on growth and mineral acquisition of Pistacia vera L. grown under salinity condition was studied. Different concentration of NaCl as 0 (control), 50 (low), 100 (medium) and 200 mM (high) were employed for salinity stress. Plants were grown in a sterilized, low-P sandy soil in a greenhouse. It was seemed that mycorrhizal colonization was higher in the control than in saline soil condition. Dry weight of shoots, roots and also leaf area of Mycorrhizal (M) plants were higher than Non Mycorrhizal (NM) ones in both control and salinity conditions. The contents of P, K, Cu and Zn were higher in M than NM plants in control, low and medium salinity conditions. Concentration of Na in shoots of M plants was lower than NM grown under salinity condition. Generally, it can be said that M plants of Pistacia vera showed higher tolerance toward salinity than NM plants and their growth improved by AMF colonization.
