Global climate change is identified as a major threat to survival of natural ecosystems.
Climate change is a dynamic, multifaceted system of alterations in environmental conditions …

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Halophytes are defined as plants that are adapted to live in soils containing high
concentrations of salt and benefiting from it, and thus represent an ideal model to …

Soil salinity is a crucial environmental constraint which limits biomass production at many
sites on a global scale. Saline growth conditions cause osmotic and ionic imbalances …

Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism and physiology. For instance it
inhibits photosynthesis through stomatal limitation, causes excessive accumulation of …

The detection and monitoring of drought stress in plants growing in their natural habitat are
essential for the study of plant stress physiology. However, with the advent of plant …

Salinity is one of the oldest and most serious environmental problems in the world. The
increasingly widespread salinization of soils and water resources represents a growing …

Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are a by-product of normal cell
metabolism in living organisms, is an inevitable consequence of aerobic life on Earth, and …

Crop productivity strongly depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Salinity is one of the
most important abiotic factors, besides drought, extreme temperatures, light and metal …

Plant growth and development is adversely affected by different kind of stresses. One of the
major abiotic stresses, salinity, causes complex changes in plants by influencing the …
