Exogenous glycine betaine alleviates dynamic physiological and transcriptomic responses in Inula salsoloides under combined salt-cadmium stress
Our findings demonstrate that exogenous GB enhances the tolerance of <i>Inula salsoloides</i> to salt and cadmium stress by coordinating physiological and transcriptional responses. This study provides novel insights into the mechanisms of GB-mediated stress alleviation and supports its potential application in enhancing plant ecological resilience in saline and heavy metal-contaminated environments.
