As global warming accelerates,soil degradation,exacerbated by extreme weather,has become a significant environmental issue worldwide.China,in particular,is grappling with a yearly reduction in arable land due to soil degradation,acidification,and salinization,posing potential threats to food security.The country has a vast area of saline-alkaline land,over half of which are high-pH soda saline soils.These lands often experience simultaneous salt and alkali stress,severely inhibiting plant growth and crop yield.Therefore,finding ways to utilize this marginal and saline-alkaline land for food production is a critical scientific challenge.In this context,Chinese scientists have achieved a breakthrough towards harnessing saline-alkaline land.
