Metabolomics analysis unveils important changes involved in the salt tolerance of Salicornia europaea.

ABSTRACT: Salicornia europaea is one of the world's salt-tolerant plant species and is recognized as a model plant for studying the metabolism and molecular mechanisms of halophytes under salinity. To investigate the metabolic responses to salinity stress in S. europaea, this study performed a widely targeted metabolomic analysis after analyzing the physiological characteristics of plants exposed to various NaCl treatments. S. europaea exhibited excellent salt tolerance and could withstand extremely high NaCl concentrations, while lower NaCl conditions (50 and 100 mM) significantly promoted growth by increasing tissue succulence and maintaining a relatively stable K⁺ concentration. A total of 552 metabolites were detected, 500 of which were differently accumulated, ma
