 Abstract 


In combination with mild (S), moderate (M) and severe (H) salinized soils, two different seedling substrates were set up, namely: non-mycorrhized seedling substrate (n) and mycorrhizal seedling substrate (m), and a total of six treatments were used to study the photosynthetic characteristics and biomass allocation of processed tomato during the whole growth period. The results showed that the mycorrhizal treatment increased the yield, photosynthetic parameters, root morphology, and configuration and mycorrhizal infection rate of processed tomato in different salinized soils, which increased the dry weight of aboveground and underground parts by 6.7-202.0% and 0.3-150.0% respectively. The root-to-shoot ratio increased by 4.3 to 32.3%. The mycorrhizal seedling substrate can improve the plant biomass and yield by promoting the photosynthesis, root growth and root-shoot ratio of processed tomato under salt stress, and finally improve the salt tolerance of processed tomato.
