USP Gene Network Modulation and Osmoprotection Define Salt Resilience in Chenopodium quinoa Genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Soil salinity poses a severe threat to global food security, making the halophytic crop Chenopodium quinoa a vital model for sustainable agriculture. While quinoa is known for its extreme salt tolerance, the molecular mechanisms integrating stress perception with metabolic adaptation remain poorly defined. This study employs a multi-level approach, integrating morphological, physiological, biochemical,...
