Popis: Soil salinization is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting plant growth and development. Plant salt tolerance is controlled by complex metabolic pathways. Exploring effective methods and mechanisms to improve crop salt tolerance has been a key aspect of research on the utilization of saline soil. Exogenous substances, such as plant hormones and signal transduction substances, can regulate ion transmembrane transport and eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reduce salt stress damage by activating various metabolic processes. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which exogenous substances regulate ion transmembrane transport and ROS metabolism to improve plant salt tolerance. The molecular and physiological relationships among exogenous substances in maintaining the ion balance and enhancing ROS clearance are examined, and trends and research directions for the application of exogenous substances for improving plant salt tolerance are proposed.
