This book discusses the role of salt in current agricultural
approaches, including the low salt tolerance of agricultural crops
and trees, impact of saline soils, and salt-resistant plants.
Halophytes are extremely salt tolerant plants, which are able to
grow and survive under salt at concentrations as high as 5 g/l by
maintaining negative water potential. The salt-tolerant microbes
inhabiting the rhizospheres of halophytes may contribute to their
salt tolerance, and the rhizospheres of halophytic plants provide
an ideal opportunity for isolating various groups of salt-tolerant
microbes that could enhance the growth of different crops under
salinity stress. The book offers an overview of salt-tolerant
microbes' ability to increase plant tolerance to salt to facilitate
plant growth, the potential of the halophytes' rhizospheres as a
reservoir of beneficial salt-tolerant microbes, their future
application as bio-inoculants in agriculture and a valuable
resource for an alternative way of improving crop tolerance to
salinity and promoting saline soil-based agriculture. This special
collection of reviews highlights some of the recent advances in
applied aspects of plant (halophytes)-microbe interactions and
their contribution towards eco-friendly approaches saline
soil-based agriculture.
Silicon and Nano-silicon in Environmental Stress Management and
Crop Quality Improvement: Progress and Prospects provides a
comprehensive overview of the latest understanding of the
physiological, biochemical and molecular basis of silicon- and
nano-silicon-mediated environmental stress tolerance and crop
quality improvements in plants. The book not only covers
silicon-induced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in crops but is
also the first to include nano-silicon-mediated approaches to
environmental stress tolerance in crops. As nanotechnology has
emerged as a prominent tool for enhancing agricultural
productivity, and with the production and applications of
nanoparticles (NPs) greatly increasing in many industries, this
book is a welcomed resource.
