Salinity stress is one of the most damaging abiotic stresses to plants, causing disturbances in physiological, biochemical, and metabolic processes. The exogenous application of natural metabolites is a useful strategy to reduce the adverse effects of stress on crops. We investigated the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) and ferulic acid (FA) (10-100 μM) on short-term salt-stressed (150 mM NaCl, 72 h) Chinese cabbage plants.

- Salinity significantly impacts plant growth and crop yield, particularly affecting seedlings of important Brassica crops like Chinese cabbage, white cabbage, and kale.
- Under salt stress, root growth and biomass decreased while stress markers like Na/K ratio and reactive oxygen species increased, especially in Chinese cabbage.
- Tolerant species, like white cabbage and kale, showed higher levels of beneficial phenolic acids and lower metabolic stress compared to more sensitive varieties.
