Salt eustress modulates physiological responses and enhances yield, nutritional quality, and antioxidant capacity in sunflower microgreens

Microgreens have gained attention as nutritious superfoods and as model systems for studying plant stress responses. Salt stress can elicit hormetic effects by enhancing plant growth and quality at low concentrations (eustress) while inhibiting performance at higher levels (distress). Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) m...
