Approximately 5.2 billion hectare agriculture land are affected by erosion, salinity and soil
degradation. Salinity stress has significantly affecting the fertile lands, and therefore …

Soil salinization is a major threat to agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions, where water
scarcity and inadequate drainage of irrigated lands severely reduce crop yield. Salt …

Several halophytes and a few crop plants, including Poaceae, synthesize and accumulate
glycine betaine (GB) in response to environmental constraints. GB plays an important role in …

The environmental stress is a major area of scientific concern because it constraints plant as
well as crop productivity. This situation has been further worsened by anthropogenic …

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 …

Plants regularly face adverse growth conditions, such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing,
and high temperatures. These stresses can delay growth and development, reduce …

World population is expected to reach 9.2× 109 people by 2050. Feeding them will require a
boost in crop productivity using innovative approaches. Current agricultural production is …

Drought and heat stresses are important threat limitations to plant growth and sustainable
agriculture worldwide. Our objective is to provide a review of plant responses and …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, chemical toxicity and
oxidative stress are serious threats to agriculture and the natural status of the environment …

Salinity tolerance comes from genes that limit the rate of salt uptake from the soil and the
transport of salt throughout the plant, adjust the ionic and osmotic balance of cells in roots …
