Aluminum stress is an important factor limiting plant growth in acidic soil, and has significant effects on the growth, development and physiological metabolism of Mentha canadensis. However, the exogenous addition of Salicylic acid significantly alleviated the negative effects of aluminum stress on Mentha canadensis. In order to reveal the mechanism of Salicylic acid in alleviating aluminum stress, this study used the different concentrations of Mentha canadensis plants under aluminum stress, and measured the growth of the plants, and analyzed the degree of DNA damage. This study not only revealed the mechanism of Salicylic acid in alleviating aluminum stress, but also provided theoretical basis and practical guidance for cultivation. Future studies will further explore the molecular mechanisms of Salicylic acid regulation of Al stress resistance and how the resistance can be improved by genetic engineering means.
