An interdisciplinary approach to breeding for stress tolerance in plants has gained considerable recognition in the past few years. Accordingly, this article presents a synthesis of the genetic, physiological, and ecological aspects of salt tolerance in plants. An understanding of these aspects and the interrelationships between them is essential for an efficient breeding program.read more

Potential biochemical indicators of salinity tolerance in plants
Muhammad Ashraf,P.J.C. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although there are a number of promising selection criteria, the complex physiology of salt tolerance and the variation between species make it difficult to identify single criteria.
Book ChapterDOI
Adaptation of Plants to Salinity
TL;DR: This chapter outlines some of the issues and strategies concerning selection and breeding for plant salt tolerance, highlights crucial advances in knowledge in recent years, and identifies some the fundamental gaps in the authors' understanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetics of metal tolerance in vascular plants.
TL;DR: The study of the genetics of tolerance is of importance in planning breeding programmes to produce tolerant crops for use in areas where metal contamination is a limiting factor in productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in genetics of salt tolerance in tomato
TL;DR: It has been determined that at each stage salt tolerance is largely controlled by a few QTLs with major effects and several QTLS with smaller effects, suggesting the absence of genetic relationships among stages in tolerance to salinity.

Microbial Models and Salt Stress Tolerance in Plants
Ramón Serrano,Roberto A. Gaxiola +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the field of salt tolerance can benefit by complementing the present phenomenological or descriptive approaches with a functional strategy directed toward isolating genes that, by overexpression of the corresponding protein, could improve salt tolerance.

Plant Strategies and Vegetation Processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present plant strategies in the established phase and the regenerative phase in the emerging phase, respectively, and discuss the relationship between the two phases: primary strategies and secondary strategies.

Responses of plants to environmental stresses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the responses of plants to environmental stresses and found that plants respond to environmental stress in response to various types of stressors, such as drought and flooding.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mineral Nutrition of Wild Plants
TL;DR: The nature of crop responses to nutrient stress is reviewed and compares these responses to those of species that have evolved under more natural conditions, particularly in low-nutrient envi ronments.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
