salinity-stress

6 articles

Salinity stress refers to the physiological and molecular challenges plants face when exposed to high concentrations of salt in soil or water, which disrupts osmotic balance and ion homeostasis. This condition is a major constraint on agricultural productivity worldwide, affecting crop yields on millions of hectares of salt-affected land. Understanding how plants perceive, signal, and adapt to salinity is critical for developing tolerant varieties that can sustain food production under increasingly saline conditions driven by irrigation and climate change.
