Mangroves as Ecological Buffers:
A study published in Current Biology has revealed how mangrove plants survive extreme saltwater conditions, offering insights that could help develop salt-tolerant crops amid climate change and rising sea levels.A Current Biology study reveals that mangroves survive extreme salinity through unique cell-level adaptations such as thick cell walls and specialised salt management mechanisms.The findings offer actionable insights to develop salt-tolerant crops, strengthening climate resilience, food security, and sustainable agriculture amid rising sea levels.
