“…Salinity and drought are the most frequent stresses studied in fields and under greenhouse conditions (Ali et al, 2020). Several reports have been published on the impact of HS on the growth of pepper, common beans, rice, tomato, corn, sorghum, and cucumber under these stress conditions (Demir et al, 1999;García et al, 2012;Berbara and García, 2014;Rose et al, 2014;Prado et al, 2016;Van Oosten et al, 2017;Bulgari et al, 2019;Pinos et al, 2019;Ali et al, 2020). One of the underlying mechanisms of the impact of the HS is the interaction with auxin, jasmonic acid and abscisic acid by phytohormonal regulation in the root, which are well-known plant hormones for the stress of drought and salinity (De Hita et al, 2019;Ali et al, 2020).…”
