Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress in plant agriculture worldwide. This has led to research
into salt tolerance with the aim of improving crop plants. However, salt tolerance might have …

Halophytes, wild plants adapted to highly saline natural environments, represent extremely
useful—and, at present, underutilised—experimental systems with which to investigate the …

Salinity is an abiotic stress that limits both yield and the expansion of agricultural crops to
new areas. In the last 20 years our basic understanding of the mechanisms underlying plant …

Soil salinity is becoming a growing issue nowadays, severely affecting the world's most
productive agricultural landscapes. With intersecting and competitive challenges of …

Halophytes of the lower coastal salt marsh show increased salt tolerance, and under high
salinity they grow faster than upper marsh species. We could not show reduced growth rate …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress in plant agriculture strongly, influencing plant
productivity world-wide. Classical breeding for salt tolerance in crop plants has been …

Crop productivity strongly depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Salinity is one of the
most important abiotic factors, besides drought, extreme temperatures, light and metal …

Soil salinization, which is aggravated by climate change and inappropriate anthropogenic
activities, has emerged as a serious environmental problem, threatening sustainable …

Salt cress (Thellungiella halophila), a halophyte, is a genetic model system with a small
plant size, short life cycle, copious seed production, small genome size, and an efficient …

Salinity is one of major threats to modern agriculture. The problem of soil salinization is
especially important for the agricultural areas suffering from water scarcity and inadequate …
