Plant growth-promoting microorganisms enhance maize performance under salinity stress: a comprehensive meta-analysis of morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses

Salinity stress severely limits global maize ( Zea mays L.) productivity by disrupting plant growth, physiology, and yield formation. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs), including bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, have been widely investigated as sustainable tools for im...
