Description

A salt-loving grass may heal the white, crusty fields that salt ruins. Ahmad Rajabi Dehnavi and three co-authors dosed the grass with six salt levels in 2025, from none to harsh. Seed sprouting and young growth fell as salt rose. Yet at a mid dose the grass did not just cope; its leaf size, green, and bulk rose past the no-salt pots.

At that sweet band its shields ran hot: cleaning enzymes peaked, and sugar and amino stores filled. Past it, at the harshest dose, rust marks of cell harm topped the chart and the shields gave out. Maps of the whole trait set put the best fit in that same mid band. The team pitch the grass for restoring salt fields, planted where its sweet band rules.
