RETROSAL:
how does it work in salt conditions

Accumulation of salts in soil is one of the most important worldwide problems that induce crop losses. Soil salinization, arising from either natural or human-induced causes, led to an increase in the concentration of dissolved salts in the soil profile to a level that impairs food production, environmental health, and socioeconomic well-being (Ondrasek et al., 2009; Rengasamy, 2006).

The application of RETROSAL under salinity stress activates genes/pathways involved in osmotic adjustment and synthesis of compatible solutes to tolerate salinity stress conditions and confer protective properties. In addition, it induces the biosynthesis of compatible osmolytes that can afford the protection of cells against a variety of salinity stress, induces the biosynthesis of physical protective barriers that reduce the accumulation of toxic compounds, and finally improves energy pathways to support plant growth under salinity conditions.
