salinity-tolerance

3 articles

Salinity tolerance refers to the capacity of plants to survive and grow in soils or water with elevated salt concentrations that would otherwise inhibit normal development. High soil salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting agricultural productivity worldwide, disrupting water uptake, ion homeostasis, and key metabolic processes in plants. Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying salinity tolerance is critical for developing crops that can thrive in salt-affected soils, which represent a growing challenge as climate change and irrigation practices expand salinization.
