salt-stress-tolerance

2 articles

Salt-stress tolerance refers to a plant's ability to grow and maintain physiological functions under high soil salinity conditions that would otherwise inhibit water uptake and cause ion toxicity. High salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting agricultural productivity worldwide, making it a critical area of plant science research. Understanding the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying salt tolerance informs the development of stress-resilient crops capable of thriving in saline or drought-prone soils.
