Almost all crops that are important to humans are sensitive to high salt concentration in the
soil. The presence of salt in soil is one of the most significant abiotic stresses in farming …

Plant roots must exclude almost all of the Na+ and Cl–in saline soil while taking up water,
otherwise these ions would build up to high concentrations in leaves. Plants evaporate c. 50 …

Salinity stress is a major threat to global food production and its intensity is continuously
increasing because of anthropogenic activities. Wheat is a staple food and a source of …

Sweet sorghum is a C4 crop with the characteristic of fast-growth and high-yields. It is a
good source for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. On saline land, sweet sorghum can not only …

Soil salinity reduces crop yield. The extent and severity of salt‐affected agricultural land is
predicted to worsen as a result of inadequate drainage of irrigated land, rising water tables …

Salt stress reduces land and water productivity and contributes to poverty and food
insecurity. Increased salinization caused by human practices and climate change is …

Excess soil salinity affects large regions of land and is a major hindrance to crop production
worldwide. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance has …

Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

In salt-affected soils, more than one approach should be adopted for minimizing the salinity
impacts and enhancing the land productivity. The most effective practices in crop …

Soil salinity is one of several major abiotic stresses that constrain maize productivity
worldwide. An improved understanding of salt‐tolerance mechanisms will thus enhance the …
