Abstract

This work investigated the accumulation of NO3 and nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in the organs of 14 day-old barley and soybean plants grown under salinity conditions (100 mM NaCl) by soaking part of their seeds in a Trichoderma asperellum cultural solution. It has been established that seed treatment with Tr. asperellum under conditions of chloride salinity significantly and differently restores NPA (in soybeans more in the roots, and in barley in the leaves) and NO3 accumulation (more in the leaves of barley and in the roots of soybeans) in the organs of both plants, regardless of species. It is assumed that this difference may be associated with the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of the soybean plant.
