Description
This volume comprises 17 chapters by writers from around the world. The book is intended as a source of information for students, scientists, farmers and policymakers, to understand the problems of soil salinity in relation to agricultural productivity and green cover of the earth. Topics include: the response of plants to salinity in interaction with other abiotic and biotic factors; uptake and role of ions in salt tolerance; breeding for salt tolerance in plants; and the molecular biology of salt stress.
