Salt stress disrupts plant growth by impairing ion balance and reducing water uptake, posing a significant challenge to agriculture and forestry. Maintaining sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) balance is particularly vital in woody plants like poplar, which exhibit unique secondary growth. However, the pathways enabling salt tolerance in trees are not well understood, especially compared to herbaceous plants.
