“…Cellular sodium ion (Na + ) toxicity is the dominant ion toxicity among salinity stress factors, leading to the inhibition of a series of physiological and biochemical processes such as photosynthesis, protein synthesis and K + absorption ( Tester and Davenport, 2003 ; Ismail and Horie, 2017 ; Zelm et al, 2020 ). To adapt to high-Na + environments, plants utilize various mechanisms to cope with Na + toxicity, including Na + efflux from roots to the rhizosphere, Na + sequestration in vacuoles, and Na + recycling in plants through vasculature ( Munns and Tester, 2008 ; Ismail and Horie, 2017 ; Yang and Guo, 2018a , b ; Tian et al, 2021 ). Understanding and harnessing the mechanisms responsed to salt stress will contribute to breeding salt-tolerant crops, thereby safeguarding global food security.…”
