Modern agriculture is facing twin challenge of ensuring global food security and executing it
in a sustainable manner. However, the rapidly expanding salinity stress in cultivable areas …

Agriculture is expanding into regions that are affected by salinity. This review considers the
energetic costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants and provides a framework for a …

Background Because soil salinity is a major abiotic constraint affecting crop yield, much
research has been conducted to develop plants with improved salinity tolerance. Salinity …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that results in considerable crop yield losses worldwide.
However, some plant genotypes show a high tolerance to soil salinity, as they manage to …

Crop performance is severely affected by high salt concentrations in soils. To engineer more
salt-tolerant plants it is crucial to unravel the key components of the plant salt-tolerance …

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

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 …

Abiotic stress poses a severe danger to agriculture since it negatively impacts cellular
homeostasis and eventually stunts plant growth and development. Abiotic stressors like …
