Salinity signaling networks in wheat: crosstalk among Ca2⁺, ROS, phytohormones, and metabolic signals in salt adaptation
This review reframes wheat salinity adaptation as a crosstalk-driven process linking early root perception with whole-plant acclimation and yield-related outcomes, and identifies key signaling hubs and physiological trade-offs that may guide breeding, genome editing, priming, and agronomic strategies for improving wheat performance under saline environments.
