Salt-stress secondary metabolite signatures involved in the ability of Casuarina glauca to mitigate oxidative stress

The model actinorhizal plant Casuarina glauca is characterized by its capacity to establish nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with Frankia bacteria and by its resilience to thrive under extreme environments, such as high salinity. Previous studies have shown that salt tolerance in C. glauca is linked to photosynthetic, primary metabolic adjustments and to an effective antioxidant machinery. This study aimed at analyzing the secondary...
