Crop plants are subjected to a variety of stresses during their lifecycle, including abiotic
stress factors such as salinity and biotic stress factors such as pathogens. Plants have …

The effects of salinity on tomato plant growth and fruit production, the cultural techniques
which can be applied to alleviate the deleterious effects of salt, and the possibilities of …

The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, is the second most consumed vegetable
worldwide and a well‐studied crop species in terms of genetics, genomics, and breeding. It …

Salinity is an important environmental constraint to crop productivity in arid and semi-arid
regions of the world. Most crop plants, including tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., are …

Crop salt tolerance (ST) is a complex trait affected by numerous genetic and non‐genetic
factors, and its improvement via conventional breeding has been slow. Recent …

The existence of salinity stress can be traced well before the domestication of crops, but the
documentation and mitigation of this menace started only 100 years ago. Due to the …
