- Intervention effect Innovator had minimal growth and tolerance-index reductions under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Innovator had no tuber yield loss under salt stress.
- Observation Innovator showed notable water loss under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Desirée had significantly reduced tuber yield.
- Observation Desirée maintained better water retention.
- Observation Mozart had a low plant tolerance index and high water loss.
- Observation Root transcriptomes showed a conserved potato–Arabidopsis salt response including stress pathways and sequential transcription-factor activation.
- Observation Innovator roots had lower suberin and lignin deposition and stronger potassium leakage in controls.
- Observation Innovator showed higher early stress response and increased ABA after salt stress.
- Observation Innovator later had high suberin and lignin and stopped potassium leakage after salt stress.
