In this pot experiment, plants were exposed to 200\u2009mM NaCl for 0, 15, 30, 45, or 60\u2009days to evaluate changes in growth and water status. Wild barley exhibited high tolerance during the early stages of salt exposure, maintaining normal growth and water balance for up to 30\u2009days. However, longer exposure reduced plant growth and leaf water content, indicating that prolonged salinity eventually compromises plant performance. To cope with salt stress, plants accumulate soluble sugars, proline, and mineral ions, helping maintain water uptake and cell hydration. Mineral ions, particularly sodium (Na\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and chloride (Cl\n                    <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), contributed most to osmotic adjustment, accounting for up to 87% of the total osmotic adjustment after 60\u2009days of treatment. Salt stress also induced structural modifications in leaf tissues that enhanced water retention and maintained cell function under saline conditions. Importantly, unlike cultivated barley,\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>H. maritimum<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    fully recovered after the salt treatment ended, restoring both growth and water relations. This strong recovery capacity demonstrates remarkable physiological flexibility and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. These findings highlight the adaptive advantage of wild barley in fluctuating saline environments, where efficient osmotic adjustment, flexible cell wall dynamics, and rapid recovery are key adaptive traits.
