It is a unique salt-resistant plant that plays a critical ecological role in the Central Asian saltwater desert. In recent years, Despite the numerous advancements in understanding the mechanisms of plant saline resistance, research on the mitigating effects of melatonin on Reaumuria trigyna and its intricate physiological and molecular mechanisms still needs to be completed.
