Summary
BACKGROUND: Soil salinization is a formidable challenge for vegetable production, primarily because of the detrimental effects of ion toxicity. Rhizosphere microorganisms promote plant growth and bolster salt tolerance, but the extent to which microbial communities can increase plant resilience by regulating ion homeostasis under salt stress remains underexplored. The goal of this study was to enrich microbial communities from the rhizosphere of salt-stressed cucumber seedlings and identify their impact on ion balance and plant growth under saline conditions. RESULTS: expulsion rate decreased by 76.7%. These dynamic changes are attributed to the upregulation of genes such as CsHKT1, CsHAK5, and CsCHX18;4. CONCLUSIONS: Enrichment with SiRMs played a pivotal role in maintaining ion homeostas
