Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Play More Important Roles in Saline–Sodic Soil than in Black Soil of the Paddy Field in Northeast China by Dongxue Jiang, Yuxin Yan, Jiaqi Li, Chenyu Zhang, Shaoqi Huangfu, Yang Sun, Chunyu Sun, Lihua Huang, Lei Tian

“…In the harvest stage, AMF community diversity was greater in saline–sodic paddy soil compared to black soil, a reversal from the heading stage. Further analysis of the functional genes of <i>Rhizophagus intraradices</i> revealed that gene activity in the heading stage of saline soils significantly surpassed that in black soils, suggesting that <i>R. intraradices</i> plays a more crucial role in saline environments. …”
