| Popis: | Nearly 1200 million hectares of land is affected by salinity throughout the world, and it is increasing year after year. It is one of the major causes that threaten our crop productivity at a time when we need to meet our growing food demands with limited land and freshwater resources. This leaves us but to understand the complex salinity tolerance mechanisms adapted by halophytic species especially their stomatal conductance (gs), epidermal salt bladders, and water use efficiency (WUE) and to utilize the candidate genes associated with them in crop plants for better tolerance and crop productivity. |
