Abstract
Soil salinity reduces the biodiversity of natural ecosystems and severely limits sustainability and profitability of agricultural production systems. Given the increasing reliance of modern agriculture on irrigation ( Liu et al., 2020a Liu M.M. Pan T. Allakhyerdiev S.I. Yu M. Shabala S. Crop halophytism: an environmentally sustainable solution for global food security. Trends Plant Sci. 2020; 25: 630-634 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar ), the extent of the soil salinity is only going to increase under current climate trends scenarios. In this context, achieving global food security in the 21st century will be not feasible without developing a salt-tolerant crop germplasm. However, the physiological and genetic complexity of this trait has significantly handicapped progress in the field.
