TL;DR: P. spadiceum AGH786 boosted the NaCl stress tolerance and growth in soybean, by modulating seedlings endogenous phytohormones and isoflavones suggesting a valuable contribution of this potent fungal biofertilizer in sustainable agriculture in salt affected soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exogenous gibberellic acid reprograms soybean to higher growth and salt stress tolerance.

TL;DR: It was concluded that GA(3) ameliorates the adverse effects of salt stress and restores normal growth and development of soybean.
Journal Article
Silicon alleviates the adverse effects of salinity and drought stress on growth and endogenous plant growth hormones of soybean (glycine max l.)
Muhammad Hamayun,Sohn EunYoung,Sumera Afzal Khan,Zabta Khan Shinwari,Abdul Latif Khan,Lee InJung +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of silicon (Si) in alleviating salinity and drought induced physio-hormonal changes in soybean grown in perlite was evaluated, and the authors concluded that Si improves physiohormonal attributes of soybean and mitigate adverse effects of salt and drought stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
