Abstract Cultivating salt-tolerant crops is a feasible way to effectively utilize saline-alkali land and solve the problem of
underutilization of saline soils. Quinoa, a protein-comprehensive cereal in the plant kingdom, is an exceptional
crop in terms of salt stress tolerance level. It seems an excellent model for the exploration of salt-tolerance
mechanisms and cultivation of salt-tolerant germplasms. In this study, the seeds and seedlings of the quinoa cultivar Shelly were treated with different concentrations of NaCl solution. The physiological, biochemical characteristics and agronomic traits were investigated, and the response patterns of three salt stress-responsive genes
