Salinity tolerance comes from genes that limit the rate of salt uptake from the soil and the
transport of salt throughout the plant, adjust the ionic and osmotic balance of cells in roots …

Recent approaches to study of salinity tolerance in crop plants have ranged from genetic
mapping to molecular characterization of gene products induced by salt/drought stress …

Recent progress in improving the salt tolerance of cultivated plants has been slow.
Physiologists have been unable to define single genes or even specific metabolic processes …

Salinity is an important abiotic environmental stress factor threatening agricultural
productivity throughout the world. The detrimental effects of salinity stress are observed at …

An interdisciplinary approach to breeding for stress tolerance in plants has gained
considerable recognition in the past few years. Accordingly, this article presents a synthesis …

Salinity in soil affects about 7% of the land's surface and about 5% of cultivated land. Most
importantly, about 20% of irrigated land has suffered from secondary salinisation and 50% of …

Salinity is an ever‐present threat to crop yields, especially in countries where irrigation is an
essential aid to agriculture. Although the tolerance of saline conditions by plants is variable …

A significant part of the world's land area is salt-affected, including areas in which crops and
pastures are grown for food and forage. Growth and yield of most crops is reduced by …

The halobacteria are the only organisms that are tolerant of salinity at the molecular level. All
other bacteria, all fungi, all plants, and all animals avoid the need for salt tolerance for most …

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 …
