Question

How we can enhance salt tolerence in crops?

Answer 1

Hey there!

There are Three main traits involved in salt tolerance:

1. Ion exclusion

2. Tissue tolerance

3. Osmotic tolerance.

To improve salinity tolerance of crops, various traits can be incorporated, including ion exclusion, osmotic tolerance and tissue tolerance.

Various genes encoding salt tolerance traits are likely to contribute to crop performance.

Different tissues and cells are adapted for specific and often diverse function, so it is important to express the genes in specific cell-types and to pyramid a range of traits.

Quantifying yields in saline soils, and using proper controls in field trials, can guide crop improvement programs.
