Abiotic stressors are major constraints that affect agricultural plant physio-morphological and biochemical attributes, resulting in a loss of normal functioning and, eventually, severe decline crop productivity. The co-occurrence different abiotic stresses, rather than specific stress situation, can alter or trigger wide range responses, such as altered metabolism, stunted growth, restricted development. Therefore, systematic rigorous studies pivotal for understanding the impact concurrent conditions on In doing so, this review emphasizes implications potential mechanisms controlling/managing combined which then be utilized to identify genotypes with tolerance. Furthermore, focuses recent biotechnological approaches deciphering tolerance plants.

Globally, escalating soil salinization poses significant abiotic stress, disproportionately impacting crops like chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.). This legume exhibits high sensitivity to salinity, which disrupts various physiological and metabolic processes, ultimately hindering growth productivity. AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus) reduces salt’s detrimental effects on plants’ by bolstering the plant’s antioxidant defense system, effectively reducing damage caused oxidative stress. In this study, impact of salinity stress alleviation in was investigated pot-grown experiments. Rhizophagus fasciculatus used inoculate seeds three different varieties (HC-3, CSG-8962, C-235), biochemical changes AMF-inoculated non-inoculated plants were studied. When exposed exhibited decreased leaf relative water content (RWC %) (21.13–31.30%), increased injury, chlorophyll (45.22–58.24%), photochemical quantum yield, photosynthetic rate, transpiration stomatal conductance as compared control plants, but opposite results observed colonized plants. A 9.16% 14.79% increase reported after colonization. The activities enzymes such superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX) salt They further enhanced inoculation SOD activity 20.3% 23.3%, CAT 65.7% 78.7%, POX 32.7% 39.3%. findings clearly show that fasciculatus, via enhancing RWC, parameters, enzymes, can mitigate chickpeas.
