Abstract: Soil salinization is becoming increasingly serious,and it has become a major constraint in plant production. Therefore,research on soil salinization has become a hotspot in recent years. Salt stress mainly causes difficulties in plant uptake of soil water and nutrients. Endophytic fungi may promote plant uptake of soil water and nutrients under salt stress,alleviate salt-induced damages,thereby maintaining plant growth,population structure and biomass. In this paper,we summarized the discovered endophytic fungi and their effects on plant resistance to salt stress,discussed the research prospects of endophytic fungi and current issues,aiming to provide reference and basis for discovering and utilizing of microbial resources to enhance plants resistance to salt stress.

Key words: salinization, plant, endophytic fungi
