- Abstract
Salinity is an agro-natural condition that limits plant growth and development. It is a severe problem of parched and semi-bone-dry areas of the world, likewise it diminishes farming creation. In plants, salt pressure can bring about osmotic pressure, particle harmfulness, and dietary irregularity, finishing in the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Salinity stress reduces agricultural and crop productivity by reducing plant growth and limiting land utilization. Excessive salt limits crop yield, and play role in removal of vegetation cover. Also, saline stress decreased the photosynthesis effect in plants. Due to industrialization or habitat degradation, agricultural land is diminishing at an alarming rate as the global population grows at an alarming rate. As a result, to meet the food demand, salt-affected land must be utilized by proper management. Problems faced by plants under salt stress are discussed in this article. Salinity has a well-documented impact on wheat growth and yield. The current review focused on the effects of progressive salinity on agricultural land, wheat salt tolerance mechanisms, and the existence of genetic diversity in wheat and their use in salt tolerance breeding. Furthermore, this review focuses on the relationship between salinity and productivity in grain crops, as well as strategies for identifying genetic variation in cereal crops to improve salt tolerance. Future research directions that could be used directly to wheat breeding projects around the world to enhance wheat yield.
