Abstract
When it comes to climate change, salt stress is a significant danger to agriculture and can lead to decreased crop yields due to various factors such as osmotic and ionic stress, as well as oxidative stress, disruption of hormone balance, and nutrient imbalance (Fig. 2). Despite this, there is a growing pressure to expand agriculture into salt-affected regions to meet the demands of a growing population.•Research has shown that supplementing plants with nanoparticles can help them adapt and alleviate the negative effects of salt stress.•Different types of nanoparticles and nanofertilizers have shown potential in managing salt stress. This review focuses on recent progress in using Fe(3)O(4), ZnO, Al(2)O(3) and CuO nanoparticles to improve salt tolerance in wheat plants and highlights future research directions in this area.•The study utilized nanoparticles to investigate their impact on plant morphology and photosynthesis intensity, including chlorophyll and carotenoid content, as well as light spectrum absorption in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
