This study summarizes the new progress of Metasequoia glyptostroboides in stress-resistant breeding and ecological restoration. Research has found that Metasequoia glyptostroboides has a high genetic diversity, providing a rich basis for stress resistance improvement. The use of natural or synthetic superabsorbent polymers can enhance the drought resistance and salt tolerance of Metasequoia glyptostroboides seedlings, as well as improve their growth and physiological conditions. The root system of Metasequoia glyptostroboides is highly malleable and can adapt to both aquatic and terrestrial environments, which makes it more ecologically adaptable. With the assistance of ectomycorrhizal fungi and rhizogenic bacteria, the ability of Metasequoia glyptostroboides to resist salt stress can be further enhanced. Efficient tissue culture and rapid propagation techniques have provided technical support for the protection of Metasequoia glyptostroboides germplasm resources and large-scale ecological restoration. This study aims to provide theoretical and practical references for the stress resistance improvement and ecological restoration utilization of Metasequoia glyptostroboides.
