As the global human population continues to increase, the use of saline-alkali land for food production is an important consideration for food security. In addition to breeding or cultivating salt-tolerant crop varieties, microorganisms are increasingly being evaluated for their ability to improve plant salt tolerance. Barley is one of the most important and salt-tolerant cereal crops and is a model system for investigating the roles of microorganisms in improving plant salt tolerance. However, a comprehensive review of the mechanisms by which microorganisms improve barley salt tolerance remains lacking. In this review, the mechanisms of barley salt tolerance improvement by microorganisms are summarized, along with a discussion of existing problems in current research and areas of future research directions. In particular, with the development of sequencing technology and the great reduction of prices, the use of omics can not only comprehensively evaluate the role of microorganisms but also evaluate the impact of the microbiome on plants, which will provide us with many opportunities and challenges in this research area.
随着全球人口持续增长，利用盐碱地进行粮食生产是保障粮食安全的一项重要考量。除了培育耐盐作物品种外，微生物因其提高植物耐盐性的能力而越来越受到评估。大麦是最重要且耐盐的谷类作物之一，是研究微生物在提高植物耐盐性中作用的模式系统。然而，目前仍缺乏对微生物提高大麦耐盐性机制的全面综述。在本综述中，总结了微生物提高大麦耐盐性的机制，并讨论了当前研究中存在的问题以及未来研究方向。特别是，随着测序技术的发展和价格大幅降低，组学的应用不仅可以全面评估微生物的作用，还可以评估微生物群落对植物的影响，这将为我们在该研究领域带来诸多机遇和挑战。
