Moderate salt stress enhances natural rubber yield by jointly increasing root biomass and rubber accumulation in Taraxacum kok-saghyz

Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TKS) is a promising temperate source of natural rubber, but the effects of NaCl intensity on root growth and rubber production remain unclear. Here, field observations from two native saline-alkali habitats were combined with a controlled 0–250 mM NaCl exper...
