Salinity stress is a significant abiotic factor causing substantial reductions in agricultural crop yields, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. To identify key genes associated with salinity tolerance, Suaeda salsa, a species known for its ability to thrive in high-salinity environments, was studied at the transcriptome level. RNA sequencing was conducted under NaCl concentrations of 0, 200, 400, and 800 mM to profile gene expression during salinity stress. While these studies often emphasize differentially expressed genes, the interaction dynamics among genes under salinity stress remain underexplored. To address this, a correlation network was constructed for 50 selected genes (logFC>2, salinity vs. control) with 848 interactions, grouped into three clusters. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism was the sole enriched pathway during salinity stress.
