High P increased the tolerance of R. pseudoacacia roots to salt stress. Salt is an important abiotic factor that restricts plant growth and development in soil. An appropriate concentration of P can increase plant tolerance to salt stress. We investigated the physiological and transcriptional regulatory effects of high P (HP) or low P (LP) on the response of R. pseudoacacia roots to salt stress. A pot experiment was carried out to grow R. pseudoacacia seedlings in vermiculite media supplemented with 0 mM, 150 mM or 300 mM NaCl under HP or LP conditions. The root dry weight and concentrations of free proline, P, ions, and phytohormones were measured, and the transcription of the genes was analyzed under NaCl stress under HP or LP conditions. The results revealed that R. pseudoacacia responds to NaCl stress by regulating the absorption and utilization of P and the levels of free proline, phytohormones and Na
