Soil salinity stress inhibits the growth of most beneficial soil fungi, thereby adversely affecting crop growth, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our study revealed that the beneficial fungus Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742 exhibited limited salt tolerance, with its growth...
