The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization or exogenous SA treatment could increase ‘Abareqi’ pistachio seedlings tolerance to DS. Application of SA on AMF-inoculated seedlings further promoted drought tolerance, as indicated by an alleviated plant biomass and water relations compared to the respective treatments. The analysis of proline and soluble carbohydrates showed that the increased drought tolerance in the treated plants may be associated, at least in part, with increasing of proline accumulation in the leaves of stressed plants.}, keywords = {Drought,proline,soluble carbohydrates,Stress}, url = {https://ijhst.ut.ac.ir/article_56432.html}, eprint = {https://ijhst.ut.ac.ir/article_56432_43b5d464a375082d52f6091d29d6c17f.pdf} }
