Intense farming and irrigation practices are important causes of
salinity which limit plant growth and productivity. Salinity has
now impacted 6% of the total and 33% of the irrigated land. The
severest salinity problem has arisen in semiarid or arid lands when
they were subjected to excessive irrigation which turned hundreds
of hectares of cultivated fertile lands into saline lands. When a
change in salinity around the environment of a plant exceeds to a
certain threshold level, the morphology and physiology of the
plants are affected. This book emphasizes the menace of salinity in
agriculture and crop production. It encompasses various studies on
plants sensitive to salt (glycophytes) and tolerant to salt
(halophytes). This book includes diversity of glycophytes and
halophytes, effects of salinity on different stages of growth and
development, ion homeostasis and cellular ion transport, their
photosynthetic responses, effects on biological nitrogen fixation,
redox regulation and phytohormonal adjustment, and significance of
mineral nutrients in combating salinity in food crops. The most
significant feature of the present book is its extensive coverage
of genomics, metabolomics, ionomics, proteomics and transcriptomics
approach, which provides a better understanding towards salt and
its interaction with plants. This book is beneficial for students
of stress physiology, environmental sciences, agronomy, life
sciences and crop sciences at the university level.
