Salt stress is a major abiotic stressor that limits plant growth, development, and agricultural productivity, especially in regions with high soil salinity. With the increasing salinization of soils due to climate change, developing salt-tolerant crops has become essential for ensuring food security. This review consolidates recent advances genetics, transcription factors (TFs), next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are pivotal enhancing salt tolerance crops. It highlights critical genes involved ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustment, signaling pathways, which contribute resilience under saline conditions. Additionally, specific TF families, such as DREB, NAC (NAM, ATAF, CUC), WRKY, explored their roles activating salt-responsive gene networks. By leveraging NGS technologies-including genome-wide association studies (GWASs) RNA (RNA-seq)-this provides insights into complex genetic basis tolerance, identifying novel regulatory networks underpin adaptive responses. Emphasizing integration tools, research, NGS, this presents comprehensive framework accelerating development crops, contributing sustainable agriculture saline-prone areas.

Wildlife constitutes a vital component of Earth’s ecosystems and serves as precious natural resource essential for human survival development. management integrates science, policy, community collaboration through comprehensive measures including nature reserve establishment, rescue breeding programs, technological support, law enforcement supervision, ensuring the reproduction wildlife. Simultaneously, it facilitates rational, scientific, sustainable development utilization wildlife resources to meet socioeconomic demands cultural-artistic creation needs. Consequently, plays pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem stability, preserving biodiversity, advancing However, challenges such intensified anthropogenic disturbances global climate change have precipitated critical issues, habitat loss/fragmentation, illegal trade, invasive species proliferation, zoonotic disease risks. This chapter systematically examines four dimensions: status, challenges, operational limitations, strategic recommendations. By analyzing contemporary constraints, proposes innovative perspectives actionable strategies management. study could provide powerful scientific reference promoting protecting diversity.
