Wheat constitutes pivotal position for ensuring food and nutritional security; however, rapidly
rising soil and water salinity pose a serious threat to its production globally. Salinity stress …

Background Soil salinity and drought are an enormous worldwide problem for agriculture,
horticulture and silviculture. The initial responses of plants to drought and salinity are similar; …

Salt stress is one of the environmental factors that limit global agricultural productions and
vegetative growths. For last several decades, plant scientists have been trying to fully …

Modern irrigation practices and industrial pollution can contribute to the simultaneous
occurrence of salinity and heavy metal contamination in large areas of the world, resulting in …

Soil salinity is a major constraint to wheat production; it causes a severe reduction in wheat
growth and yield. Alleviation of salinity effects on physiological, biochemical, and yield of …

The process of soil salinization and the preponderance of saline water sources all over the
world represent one of the most harmful abiotic stress to plant growth. This pointed to the …

Ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation and the growth hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) have been
