Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• Silicate-genotype interactions help improve stress tolerance of Glycine max and CO2 dynamics in saline soil (2026) · Communications Biology · doi

  Plants have evolved diverse physiological and molecular mechanisms to cope with salinity, but salt tolerance varies widely among cultivars within the same species because of differences in genetic background and breeding/ adaptation history.

• Characterization of the BPC genes in alfalfa and functional verification of MsBPC10 in salt tolerance (2026) · BMC Plant Biology · doi

  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.

• Drought–salinity interaction suppresses seed germination and seedling growth in alfalfa by altering water status, membrane stability, and antioxidant responses (2026) · Frontiers in Plant Science · doi

  The interactive effects of drought and salinity stress on early alfalfa establishment and the underlying physiological regulatory mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. The study aims to fill this knowledge gap.

• Combined Transcriptomics and Metabolomics to Analyze the Response of Foxtail Millet Under Salt Stress in Conjunction With Different Soil Amelioration Techniques (2025) · Food and Energy Security · doi

  Although combining different cultivation techniques can alleviate the harm of salt stress to crops to some extent, the specific metabolic mechanisms by which crops adapt to salt stress remain incompletely understood.

• A plant-derived biostimulant Aminolom Enzimatico® application stimulates chlorophyll content, electrolyte leakage, stomata density and root yield of radishes under salinity stress (2025) · PeerJ · cited 5× · doi

  Biostimulants stimulate plant growth and tolerance to salinity stress, which creates unfavorable conditions for plant growth from emergence to harvest; however, little is known about their roles in triggering salt tolerance.
