TLDR
Salinity is one of the major environmental constraints on agriculture in many regions of the world and needs to be considered as a major environmental constraint on agricultural output.
Abstract
salinity is one of the major environmental constraints on agriculture in many regions of the world (Boyer, 1982;

Salt tolerance and salinity effects on plants: a review.

TL;DR: The ability of plants to tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions, and maintain ion homeostasis as mentioned in this paper.

Salinity : environment - plants - molecules

TL;DR: The adaptive potential of plant development: evidence from the response to salinity G. Gorham, G.Wyn Jones, and the long and winding road to haloterance genes are illustrated.

Salinity and its effects on the functional biology of legumes

TL;DR: Legumes are a key component of sustainable agriculture and can offer many economic and environmental benefits if grown more widely in crop rotations because of their ability to fix nitrogen in the root nodules in a symbiotic interaction with soil rhizobia.

Role of bioinoculants in development of salt-tolerance of Vicia faba plants under salinity stress

TL;DR: Evidence for benefits of NFB to Am fungus in the protection of host plants against the detrimental effects of salt is provided and bacterial-Am-legume tripartite symbioses could be a new approach to increase the salinity tolerance of legumes plants under salinity conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salt sensitivity in chickpea

TL;DR: Both dominance and additive gene effects have been identified in the effects of salinity on chickpea and there appears to be sufficient genetic variation to enable improvement in yield under saline conditions via breeding.

Copper enzymes in isolated chloroplasts. polyphenoloxidase in beta vulgaris

TL;DR: Evidence that a copper enzyme, polyphenoloxidase (otherwise known as tyrosinase or catecholase), is localized in the chloroplasts of spinach beet (chard), Beta vu?garis is presented.

Plant Productivity and Environment

TL;DR: An analysis of major U.S. crops shows that there is a large genetic potential for yield that is unrealized because of the need for better adaptation of the plants to the environments in which they are grown.

Water stress induced changes in concentrations of proline and total soluble sugars in nodulated alfalfa (Medicago sativd) plants

TL;DR: Results suggest that alfalfa nodules are more susceptible to water shortage than leaves, and the TSS accumulation induced by water stress suggests that substrate shortage would not be the primary effect of drought on nodule activity.

Developmental biology of legume nodulation

TL;DR: Many legumes respond to Rhizobium inoculation by developing unique structures known as nodules on their roots, and there is some controversy as to whether the legume nodule is an organ sui generis or a highly derived lateral root.
