Melatonin and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi synergistically improve drought toleration in kiwifruit seedlings by increasing mycorrhizal colonization and nutrient uptake
Kiwifruit is a vine fruit tree that is vulnerable to water deficiency due to its shallow root system and large leaves. Although mycorrhizal inoculation and melatonin application has been proved to improve plants drought tolerance, their interaction effects are still unclear. In this study, arbuscula...
