Article Synopsis
- Soil salinity is a significant abiotic stress affecting agricultural productivity, making the study of salt-tolerant plants like Lobularia maritima essential for potential gene exploitation.
- Research shows that L. maritima can thrive in saline conditions, with growth unaffected at 100 mM NaCl and survival up to 400 mM NaCl without visible damage.
- The plant's ability to manage salt involves specific ion accumulation patterns and the expression of key genes related to ion transport, along with enhanced antioxidant production that helps it cope with oxidative stress.
