- Title
MOLECULAR AND BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO INCREASE SALT TOLERANCE IN SOME CROP PLANTS.

- Abstract
Salinity is the most important abiotic stress factor limiting the plant development and production. Soil salinity is a principal constraint in food production. Particularly, it is a problem in the arid and semi- arid areas of the world. Recent biotechnological approaches and molecular markers technology studies have contributed greatly to a better understanding of the genetic and molecular bases of plant salt stress tolerance. The development of molecular studies and in vitro selection technology will provide a new opportunity to improve in salt tolerant crops. The genetic and genomic analysis of the traits of plants can contribute to the breeding of salt tolerant crops through DNA molecular markers associated to salt stress resistance. In this review, use of in vitro culture methods for increasing salt tolerance in crop plants and also molecular marker and genetic engineering studies were evaluated.
