Cover Story: Soil salinization poses a significant threat to global food security under climate change, including olive trees. This review highlights its morphological, physiological, biochemical, transcriptomic and metagenomic responses in salt-sensitive and -tolerant cultivars. A list of 98 cultivars classified by salt tolerance, along with available olive tree genomes and salt-responsive genes, is included. It describes the effective salt tolerance involving cell wall thickening, ion exclusion, and antioxidant adaptations. The potential of soil amendments, salt-tolerant microbiota, metacaspase engineering, and multi-omic tools regarding salt resilience is discussed, suggesting that progresses in omics, artificial intelligence, and smart oliviculture are promising.
