Physiological and biochemical variations in different pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides) varieties under salt stress
This study, for the first time, systematically reveals the involvement of the alkaloid pathway in the salt stress response of pod pepper through integrated multi-omics approaches. It elucidates the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which the salt-tolerant variety enhances antioxidant capacity, regulates ion homeostasis, and maintains cellular structural integrity under salt stress. These findings provide a theoretical basis and genetic resources for targeted breeding of salt-tolerant pepper cultivars.
