Soil salinization is a significant environmental stress factor, threatening global agricultural yield and ecological security. Plants must effectively cope with the adverse effects of salt stress on survival and successful reproduction. Lateral Organ Boundaries (LOB) Domain (LBD) genes, a gene family encoding plant-specific transcription factors (TFs), play important roles in plant growth and development.
