简介
Highlights
- Three main traits are involved in salt tolerance: ion exclusion, tissue tolerance and osmotic tolerance.
- Numerous genes encoding salt tolerance traits are likely to contribute to crop performance.
- A compilation of transgenes and their effects on salt tolerance traits in crops is presented.
- Temporal and spatial control of gene-expression are often important for increasing tolerance.
- Quantifying yields in saline soils, and using proper controls in field trials, can guide crop improvement programs.
Soil salinity is a major constraint to agriculture. To improve salinity tolerance of crops, various traits can be incorporated, including ion exclusion, osmotic tolerance and tissue tolerance. We review the roles of a range of genes involved in salt tolerance traits. Different tissues and cells are adapted for specific and often diverse function, so it is important to express the genes in specific cell-types and to pyramid a range of traits …
