TL;DR: In this article, the salt-tolerance data as well as tolerance limits for boron, chloride, and sodium are presented for woody crops, which are also influenced by specific salt constituents.
Abstract: Many plant, soil, water, and environmental factors interact to influence the salt tolerance of a plant. This chapter presents the salt-tolerance data as well as tolerance limits for boron, chloride, and sodium. Plant tolerance to salinity is usually appraised in one of three ways: the ability of a plant to survive on saline soils, the absolute plant growth or yield, and the relative growth or yield on saline soil compared with that on nonsaline soil. Temperature, relative humidity, and air pollution are important climatic factors that influence plant response to salinity. The salt tolerance of woody crops is complicated because they are also influenced by specific salt constituents. Crops irrigated by sprinkler systems are subject to additional salt damage when the foliage is directly wetted by saline water. Boron is an essential plant element but it can become toxic to some plants when soil-water concentrations exceed only slightly that required for optimum plant growth.

TL;DR: The effects of salinity on tomato plant growth and fruit production, the cultural techniques which can be applied to alleviate the deleterious effects of salt, and the possibilities of breeding salt-tolerant tomatoes are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, the dielectric constant of saline water was represented by an equation of the Debye form and the parameters for the parameters were given as functions of the water temperature and salinity.
Abstract: The dielectric constant of saline water may be represented by an equation of the Debye form. Equations for the parameters in the Debye expression are given as functions of the water temperature and salinity.

TL;DR: Growing seedlings in seedbeds with saline media could be of interest to better tolerate further salty conditions in the field or greenhouse and in relation to salt tolerance.

TL;DR: Grain growth was less sensitive to salinity at milking stage, suggesting that the plant is able to escape stress when the duration of salinity is short, as well as suggesting that salinity affects photosynthetic pigments, soluble carbohydrates, and protein differently.
