Soil Salinity: Effect on Vegetable Crop Growth. Management Practices to Prevent and Mitigate Soil Salinization

Rui Machado, Ricardo Serralheiro · 3 May 2017

Salinity is a major problem affecting crop production all over the world: 20% of cultivated land in the world, and 33% of irrigated land, are salt-affected and degraded. This process can be accentuated by climate change, excessive use of groundwater (mainly if close to the sea), increasing use of low-quality water in irrigation, and massive…

Response Mechanism of Plants to Drought Stress

Xinyi Yang, Meiqi Lu, Yu‐Fei Wang et al. · 13 Mar 2021

With the global climate anomalies and the destruction of ecological balance, the water shortage has become a serious ecological problem facing all mankind, and drought has become a key factor restricting the development of agricultural production. Therefore, it is essential to study the drought tolerance of crops. Based on previous studies, we reviewed the effects…

A Review on Plant Responses to Salt Stress and Their Mechanisms of Salt Resistance

Shanhu Hao, Yiran Wang, Yunxiu Yan et al. · 3 Jun 2021

Nowadays, crop insufficiency resulting from soil salinization is threatening the world. On the basis that soil salinization has become a worldwide problem, studying the mechanisms of plant salt tolerance is of great theoretical and practical significance to improve crop yield, to cultivate new salt-tolerant varieties, and to make full use of saline land. Based on…

Antioxidant Defense System in Plants: Reactive Oxygen Species Production, Signaling, and Scavenging During Abiotic Stress-Induced Oxidative Damage

Muhammad Junaid Rao, Mingzheng Duan, Caixia Zhou et al. · 29 Apr 2025

Plants face various abiotic stresses in their natural environments that trigger the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and potential cellular damage. This comprehensive review examines the interplay between plant antioxidant defense systems and ROS under abiotic stress conditions. We discuss the major enzymatic antioxidants, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, reductases, and…

Superabsorbent Polymer Hydrogels for Sustainable Agriculture: A Review

Yusuff Oladosu, Mohd Y. Rafii, Fatai Arolu et al. · 5 Jul 2022

Water management is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing issues facing all countries in semi-arid and arid parts of the world. Global water consumption is predicted to increase by 50% in 2030, resulting in an acute water shortage. Presently, the agricultural sector consumes more than 70% of freshwater in most regions of the world,…
