Roles and mechanisms of halophilic/salt-tolerant microorganisms in mitigating plant salt stress and promoting growth

Soil salinization is a major constraint on global agricultural productivity and food security, largely because excess salts disrupt osmotic balance, nutrient acquisition, ion homeostasis, and redox stability in plants. Halophilic and salt-tolerant microorganisms, including plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, endophyt...
