Cucumber (<em>Cucumis sativus</em> L.) holds significant importance among greenhouse vegetables in China, despite its relatively low salt tolerance. Grafting cucumber onto pumpkin rootstocks, which exhibit strong salt tolerance, can improve its resistance to saline conditions. Earlier research conducted by the team revealed that the pumpkin rootstock CmoNAC1 boosts salt tolerance in grafted cucumbers by modulating H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/ABA signaling and maintaining K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> balance through its interaction with the promoters of <em>CmoRBOHD1</em>/<em>CmoNCED6</em> and <em>CmoAKT1;2</em>/<em>CmoHKT1;1</em>. The findings of this research were published in <strong><em>Horticulture</em></strong> <strong><em>Research</em></strong> in August 2023 (https://doi.org/10.1093/hr/uhad157). Nevertheless, the proteins that interact with CmoNAC1 and respond to salt stress, along with their regulatory mechanisms remain elusive.
