Enhancing Soybean Salt Tolerance with GSNO and Silicon: A Comprehensive Physiological, Biochemical, and Genetic Study.

ABSTRACT: Soil salinity is a major global challenge affecting agricultural productivity and food security. This study explores innovative strategies to improve salt tolerance in soybean (Glycine max), a crucial crop in the global food supply. This study investigates the synergistic effects of S-nitroso glutathione (GSNO) and silicon on enhancing salt tolerance in soybean (Glycine max). Two soybean cultivars, Seonpung (salt-tolerant) and Cheongja (salt-sensitive), were analyzed for various physiological, biochemical, and genetic traits under salt stress. The results showed that the combined GSNO and Si treatment significantly improved several key traits, including plant height, relative water content, root development, nodule numbers, chlorophyll content, and stomatal aperture, under bo
