Key Findings
- The study was conducted on wheat seedlings of the commercial variety Sakha 94 to explore salt resistance
- Pre-soaking wheat grains in trehalose or mannitol improved salt stress tolerance in seedlings
- Trehalose and mannitol treatments increased antioxidant enzyme activities, reducing cell damage under salt stress
