The research is well done and very interesting.I suggest that in future, in addition to different salt concentrations, different water and nutrient regimes should also be evaluated. This work is especially interesting for countries that do not have irrigation water available and have to use saline water.

Material and methods The materials and methods describe in a clear and concise manner the activities that were carried out during the experiment. Both the preparation of the inocula and the treatments carried out on the plants are described. All the analyses that were carried out on the plants are very well illustrated with example tables. Results The graphs and tables with appropriate description, highlight the effects of the use of mycorrhizas on the plants, underlining the appreciable effects of increase of resistance in the treated plants. The metabolic effects that were found on the plants are indicated, in particular on the presence of oxidative enzymes, the content of antioxidants, proteins and the level of chlorophyll. The data highlight how mycorrhizae can help plants to overcome stress due to water and soil salinity. Discussion An overview is given of the use of mycorrhizae in agriculture and their potential to overcome abiotic stresses. The possibility that mycorrhizal treatment can guarantee an improvement and reduction of plant mortality due to salt is shown. It also shows an increase in nutrient uptake, aspects normally found in plants treated with mycorrhizae. I agree with the evidence shown in this article, as mycorrhizae are normally used mainly for salt, water and nutritional stress. Conclusions The conclusions highlight the benefits that mycorrhizae can have when used in plant breeding. I would recommend extending or emphasising the possible developments of this research, perhaps even evaluating the use of these mycorrhizae on other plant species in the presence of salt, water and nutritional stresses.
