Gibberellins Producing Endophytic Fungus Porostereum spadiceum AGH786 Rescues Growth of Salt Affected Soybean.

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.

Silicon alleviates the adverse effects of salinity and drought stress on growth and endogenous plant growth hormones of soybean (glycine max l.)

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.
