CsASR1 from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) positively regulates salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis

Key Points

• Tolerant Arabidopsis plants showed enhanced growth under salt stress conditions, indicating the effectiveness of CsASR1.
• Salt stress tolerance improved significantly, with increases in key physiological parameters observed in tested plants.
• Analysis focused on the function of CsASR1, investigating its regulatory role in salt stress adaptability.
• Results suggest potential agricultural benefits from manipulating CsASR1 expression for crop improvement under saline conditions.
