Fungal endophytes boost salt tolerance and seed quality in quinoa ecotypes along a latitudinal gradient

Soil salinity threatens global food security, making salt tolerance a key agronomic trait. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), a halophytic pseudo-cereal known for its high nutritional value, emerges as a promising candidate due to its inherent resilience to saline conditions. Although quinoa's...
