Mechanisms of Plant Responses and Adaptation to Soil Salinity

Chunzhao Zhao, Heng Zhang, Chun‐Peng Song et al. · 1 May 2020

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops. Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt stress and mining the salt tolerance-associated genetic resource in nature will be extremely important for us to cultivate salt-tolerant crops. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of…
