Abstract
• Salt stress is a major abiotic stress influencing plant growth, development, and crop yield. • Salt stresses induce ionic, osmotic, and oxidative stresses , which trigger various cellular, molecular, metabolic, and physiological responses. • Salt stress reduces plant growth and yield, posing a major threat to global food security. Salt stress is a major abiotic stress influencing plant growth, development, and crop yield. Inhibition of photosynthesis, decreased cell growth, cell division, decreased biomass, and stomatal closure are all symptoms of salt stress in plants. Salt stresses induce ionic, osmotic, and oxidative stresses, which trigger various cellular, molecular, metabolic, and physiological responses. This review presents the proteins involved in crop plants' response to salt stress. This review also discusses the role of phytohormones in response to salt stress. The most recent explicit protein contributions to the salt stress response in agricultural plants are discussed in this review, along with crop models that will be used in upcoming environmental stress evaluations for crop development.
