• Soil salinity alters acemannan content and sodium uptake in Aloe barbadensis Miller plants. A role for root-associated microbial communities? (2026) · Soil Ecology Letters · doi

  Controlled experiments manipulating salinity levels with replicated randomized plots are needed to establish causal relationships. Further characterization of the composition and structure of soil microbial communities in response to salinity is needed. Investigation of the relationship between acemannan and sodium accumulation in other plant species is needed.

• Physiological homeostasis, yield, and sugar profile of salt-stressed sugar beet plants as influenced by nano-structured mixture of zinc, boron, and molybdenum application (2026) · Scientific Reports · doi

  Soil salinity affects the yield and sugar profile of sugar beet. The adverse effects of salt stress on sugar beet plants need to be mitigated. The development of effective strategies to maintain high sugar yield and quality in nutrient-deficient, sandy, salt-affected soils is a challenge.

• Enhanced Sweet Sorghum Growth and Soil Quality in Coastal Saline–Alkali Soils Through Organic Acid-Containing Bio-Based Materials and Microbial Synergy (2024) · Agronomy · cited 12× · doi

  Salinity stress due to the accumulation of ions such as Na+ and K+ is a major challenge for plant growth in coastal saline-alkali soils. The lack of effective methods for alleviating salinity stress in sweet sorghum is a significant challenge. The study aims to address these challenges by investigating the effects of organic acid-containing bio-based materials and microbial synergy on sweet sorghum growth and soil quality.
