A Pathway to Salt-Tolerant Crops in a Changing Climate
Rising sea levels, drought, and excessive groundwater extraction are contributing to soil salinization. Salt stress hampers plant growth, decreases nutrient absorption, and significantly lowers crop yields. A new plant model will assist researchers in identifying genes to improve tolerance to develop more salt-tolerant plants. Maize grown under no exposure to salt on left to progressively higher exposure to salt stress to the right (from Ondras…
