The effect of plant species on their root-associated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) under salt stress is well studied, but how cultivars modulate this association remains largely unexplored. To fill in such a gap in knowledge, this study investigates how durum wheat cultivars shape their AMF com...
