Physiological and Transcriptomic Analyses Demonstrate the Ca²⁺-Mediated Alleviation of Salt Stress in Magnolia wufengensis.

ABSTRACT: Magnolia wufengensis, a newly discovered ornamental species in the Magnoliaceae family, is susceptible to salinity. Moreover, Ca²⁺ is an essential element for plant growth and is receiving increasing attention for its ability to mitigate the negative effects of environmental stress on plants. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Ca²⁺ on the growth and transcriptome of M. wufengensis under salt stress. The treatments used here were as follows: control, NaCl (150 mmol/L), CaCl₂ (5 mmol/L), and NaCl (150 mmol/L) + CaCl₂ (5 mmol/L). After a 60-day treatment period, plant growth indices were determined, and leaves were collected for physiological analysis and transcriptome investigation. The combined application of NaCl an
