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 …

Salinity is considered one of the most devastating environmental stresses that drastically
curtails the productivity and quality of crops across the world. More than 20% of the world's …

Among abiotic stresses, high salinity stress is the most severe environmental stress, which
impairs crop production on at least 20% of irrigated land worldwide. In response to high …

Soil salinity is a constraint for major agricultural crops leading to severe yield loss, which
may increase with the changing climatic conditions. Disruption in the cellular ionic …

Excess salinity is a natural stress that causes crop yield losses worldwide. The genetic
bases of maize salt tolerance remain largely unknown. Here we investigated the survival …

High salt concentrations in the growing medium can severely affect the growth and
development of plants. It is imperative to understand the different components of salt-tolerant …

Among abiotic stresses, high salinity stress is the most severe environmental stress, which
