Background Soil salinization severely restricts the growth and forage yield of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a globally critical leguminous forage crop, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing its salt tolerance remain incompletely understood-especially the role of the BASIC PENTACYSTEINE (BPC) transcription factor family, which has been implicated in plant stress responses but never systematically investigated in alfalfa’s salt adaptation processes.

However, the integrated responses of alfalfa during early establishment to combined drought and salinity stress, particularly the physiological links among water status, membrane stability, antioxidant defense, seed germination, and seedling growth, remain insufficiently understood.
