Salinization is a worldwide environmental problem, which is negatively impacting crop yield
and thus posing a threat to the world's food security. Considering the rising threat of salinity …

Glycine betaine (GB) and proline are two major organic osmolytes that accumulate in a
variety of plant species in response to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity …

Undoubtedly, drought is one of the prime abiotic stresses in the world. Crop yield losses due
to drought stress are considerable. Although a variety of approaches have been used to …

Various compatible solutes enable plants to tolerate abiotic stress, and glycinebetaine (GB)
is one of the most‐studied among such solutes. Early research on GB focused on the …

Despite a wealth of published research on salinity tolerance of plants, neither the metabolic
sites at which salt stress damages plants nor the adaptive mechanisms utilized by plants to …

The increasing seriousness of salinization aggravates the food, population and
environmental issues. Ameliorating the salt-resistance of plants especially the crops is the …

Undoubtedly, plant breeders have made a significant achievement in the past few years,
improving salinity tolerance in a number of potential crops using artificial selection and …

The ability of plants to tolerate salts is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that
facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions and maintain ion …

Soil salinity is a major environmental constraint to crop productivity worldwide. The
“biological” approach to this problem focuses on the management, exploitation, or …

Cadmium (Cd) level is continuously increasing in agricultural soils mainly through
anthropogenic activities. Cadmium is one of the most phytotoxic metals in soils. The present …
