Cover Story: This review explores the function of grapevine rootstocks in improving salt stress tolerance, a major limitation in sustainable grapevine production. It systematically synthesizes the perspectives adopted by physiology, molecular biology, and multi-omics approaches in understanding the mechanisms by which rootstocks control ion regulation, osmotic adjustment, oxidative protection, and signaling pathways to ensure the normal growth and quality of grafted plant organs in the presence of saline stresses. View this paper
