%X ABSTRACT Salt stress negatively affects plant growth and crop productivity. As an ideal model pathway of salt tolerance in glycophyte. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of salt-response in glycophyte, 466 of 15,768 Arabidopsis thaliana proteins with the GO term of biological with known genetic background, Arabidopsis thaliana has been widely applied to disclose the process ¡®response to salt stress¡¯ were retrieved from UniPort and analyzed by bioinformatics tools of PANTHER, DAVID, KEGG, Cytoscape and STRING. Our results not only indicated the involvement of salt-responsive proteins in various pathways and interaction networks, but also demonstrated the more complicated cross-tolerances to both abiotic stresses (osmosis, water deprivation, abscisic acid, cold, heat, light and wounding) and biotic stresses (bacterium and fungus) and multiple subcellular locations of these salt-responsive proteins. Furthermore, protein activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in Arabidopsis thaliana were determined under salt, cold and osmotic stresses, which validated the hypothesis of cross-tolerance to multiple stresses. Our work will greatly improve the current knowledge of salt tolerance mechanism in glycophytes and provide potential salt-responsive candidates for promoting plant growth and increasing crop output
