Cysteine mitigates the effect of NaCl salt toxicity in flax (Linum usitatissimum L) plants by modulating antioxidant systems. [PDF]
Agriculture, the main water-consuming factor, faces a global water scarcity crisis. Saline water is an alternative water source, while excess NaCl decreases plant growth and productivity of crops. L-cysteine (Cys) is a promising thiol amino acid in plant
