Salinity is a global environmental constraint that hinders the growth and development of
various aromatic and medicinal plants (AMPs) and declines their yield and productivity. This
is due mainly to the overaccumulation of salt ions in plant tissues, which affects negatively
the physiology and cellular metabolic homeostasis. Recent investigations highlighted that
the major functions driving plant growth and development and plant's survival such as seed
germination, photosynthesis and water and mineral nutrition, are severely reduced in …
