Undoubtedly, plant breeders have made considerable achievement in
the past few years in improving salinity tolerance in some
potential crops using artificial selection and conventional
breeding approaches as well as molecular biology approaches, but to
a substantial improvement in salinity tolerance in crops is still
an important challenge to agricultural scientists. Of the various
plant responses to salt stress, the phenomenon of accumulation of
organic compounds of low molecular weight collectively known as
compatible solutes, has been much focused by the plant scientists
in the last decade. This phenomenon helps the plant to become
acclimated to stressful environment. Furthermore, exogenous
application of compatible solutes such as glycinebetaine (GB) to
plants growing under saline conditions is a novel approach to
ameliorate salt induced reduction in growth and yield. . In view of
considerable importance of spring wheat as a major staple food crop
of many countries and its sensitivity to salt stress, it was
selected for the discussion.
