TL;DR: The roles of a range of genes involved in salt tolerance traits are reviewed, including ion exclusion, osmotic tolerance and tissue tolerance, which are a major constraint to agriculture.

TL;DR: This paper discusses how to quantify the impact of salinity on different traits, and illustrates how indices can be used to identify relationships amongst the proposed traits to identify which traits are the most important contributors to salinity tolerance.

TL;DR: The assembly of a high-quality, chromosome-scale reference genome sequence for quinoa was produced using single-molecule real-time sequencing in combination with optical, chromosomes-contact and genetic maps, which facilitated the identification of the transcription factor likely to control the production of anti-nutritional triterpenoid saponins found in quinoa seeds.

TL;DR: Advances in high‐throughput phenotyping and sequencing technologies that are enabling the multivariate characterisation of vast germplasm resources herald a promising era of discovery for research into the genetics of salt tolerance in plants.

TL;DR: This model allows the identification of previously undetected loci affecting TUE on chromosome 11, providing insights into the early responses of rice to salinity, in particular into the effects of salinity on plant growth and transpiration.
