The Wheat Nucleoredoxin <i>TaNRX1-2D</i> Gene Ameliorates Salt Tolerance in Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.).

ABSTRACT: Wheat is one of the most important crops contributing to global food and nutritional security. However, the gradual increase in soil salt content significantly impairs wheat growth and development, ultimately resulting in reduced yields. Therefore, enhancing the salt tolerance of wheat is of significant importance. Salt stress commonly induces oxidative stress in plants, and nucleoredoxin (NRX) has been shown to effectively maintain redox homeostasis under stress conditions. However, the functional role and molecular mechanism of the NRX gene in regulating salt tolerance in wheat remain to be elucidated. The results of this study demonstrated that TaNRX1-2D homologous overexpression (OE) lines exhibited significantly enhanced tolerance to salt stress. The survival rate and an
