The root endophytic fungus Piriformosporaindica has been shown to increase resistance against abiotic salinity stress in some crop plants: Viciafaba, Lupinustermis, Arachishypogaea and Hibiscussabdariffa. The presence of the fungus reduced the effect of the salinity on the growth rate; and enhanced the photosynthetic processes and protein contents. Moreover, water relations were improved under the effect of the fungus. It was found that, the treated plants by Piriformosporaindica reduced the negative effects of salinity on the growth of these plants. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that, Viciafaba, Lupinustermis, Arachishypogaea and Hibiscussabdariffa can be cultivated in moderated salinity lands in the presence of root endophyte fungus Piriformospora indica.
