Soil salinization threatens global agriculture, affecting over a billion hectares and drastically reducing yields of critical crops. This project addresses the urgent need for salinity-tolerant plants by developing rapid spatial CRISPR screening approaches to identify and engineer genetic traits to enable plants to thrive in saline soils.
