Integrating morphophysiological traits with salt-responsive gene expression uncovers cultivar-specific tolerance mechanisms in faba beans facing NaCl stress.

Abstract excerpt

Soil salinization constrains faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production across North Africa and the Near East. Three Egyptian cultivars, Nubaria 1, Giza 716, and Sakha 5, were subjected to 0, 150, and 200 mM NaCl under controlled greenhouse conditions. Twenty morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits were quantified, along with quantitative RT-PCR profiling of 11 salt-responsive genes. Two-way ANOVA detected...
